Based on the story from the classic ballet Coppelia.
The Wizard's Workshop tells the story of Dr. Coppelius, a mysterious dollmaker, who seeks to bring his prize doll to life, so he can have a real daughter. Along the way there are mistaken identities, magic spells, lots of action and comic characters.
The show is directed by CCPT board member Alaina Haylock, who also co-wrote the script. Haylock joined CCPT as a student volunteer several years ago and is now making her directorial debut. Haylock was given the freedom to choose the 2026 young audiences show. Recalling a book of ballet stories from her childhood, Haylock saw Coppelia as a perfect subject for adaptation as a children's theatre stage play.
Run time is roughly one hour, which includes one intermission.
All shows are free-of-charge, no reservations necessary. Open seating.
CCPT is presenting two shows back-to-back this summer. The Wizard's Workshop is followed at 2:30 by the Agatha Christie whodunnit, Black Coffee.
