My kids (boy 6, girl 3) loved the play. My daughter laughed and danced in her seat, and my son has been saying lines from it. I loved the theme too, never too early to start this important conversation, and a fun way to do it too.

I thoroughly enjoyed The Frog and the Toad production! It held the attention of a wide variety of ages. My 7-year old granddaughter was thrilled. She told me it was great.

We brought 4 adults and 3 children ages 7-12 . I was very impressed at the amazing local talent we have in portland. The show lasts for just over an hour and I was laughing and smiling the whole time. I will gladly purchase tickets again

My normally squirmy 3 year old was so enthralled that he easily sat through the entire show. Great music, fancy footwork and good adherence to the books; making it fun for kids to "guess" what was going to happen next.

Gathering Blue by the Oregon Children's Theatre was sensational! My family and I enjoyed the performance immensely. We were so sad when it ended. We all loved Lois Lowry's book and hoped this performance would match its intense drama and storytelling ability. We were not disappointed! The set and costumes were terrific. The acting was so skillfully done we felt like we were in the fen with the actors! I strongly recommend that you first read the book and then see the play. We can't wait for The Giver next year!

This is a perfect musical comedy for the young child (ages 4-10) and their respective parents and grandparents. The acting, singing and dancing were great; the pace was appropriate, except for the section on Christmas which was slow, uninteresting and lacked energy compared to the rest of the show. The sound system at times seemed to fade in and out, however overall it was a very good quality production with wonderful actors! It's a gift for Portlanders to have this organization in town.

Everything about this production exceeded my expectations. I was especially impressed by the actors' diction, which made the dialogue, with its heavy reliance on dialect, very understandable.

We took our 4 yo son for his first play. He was entranced the entire time, loved the music and humor. All adults including grandparents loved it too. This play made us fans of OCT and are already making plans for next season.

My granddaughter was troubled by the cast who continuously picked on the only child in the play. She saw them as "mean" to Jack, the narrator.
The ugly duckling scene portrayed an ugly duckling becoming an ugly duck being bullied and teased by the other characters. Somewhat funny, but then again not. The original tale had a redeeming message. This had none and was a bit over the top.
The humor was more for adults than children. The subtleties were lost on my granddaughter. I didn't find it all that funny either.
She was bored and a little upset. I actually snoozed through a few minutes. Overall, disappointing.

I took my 6 year old granddaughter and we had a great time. She is a busy, active child and I expected her to lose interest at some point. She was delighted by the whole thing. She told everyone she saw that she had the book at home. I think that was her way of taking the fun home with her. It was delightful.

We were near the front. A few times in the first few minutes people entered from off stage to "surprise" the narrator. They shouted very loudly (as actors need to do to reach the audience in the back) and scared my 4 year old so badly that we had to leave the theater and didn't come back. (There were a number of other young kids in the lobby who experienced the same fate)
We had grandparents with us who offered to stay in the lobby while we watched the rest of the show. Curious and sometimes creative alterations to standard fairy tales, but a lot of the humor was a bit negative and mean spirited. For kids who don't yet make a distinction between appropriate behavior in the "real" world vs the "theater" world, I think this would require a lot of explaining. (Why was so and so shouting so much at ...? Why did so and so play a mean trick on ...? etc)
We've been to a number of performance over the past year. Each has been magical in its own way (ZooZoo and Return of Cats, a few of the Tears of Joy puppet theater, Curious Garden Theater). We had high hopes for Stinky Cheese Man, but even if our 4 year old hadn't been so scared that he had to leave 5 minutes into the show, I think we would have been disappointed. In my opinion, the show lacked the imagination and the sensitive to be successful for an audience under 5 or 6.

Enjoyed the performance by the four children: Peter, Susan, Edmond and Lucy and the witch. Didn't care for the costumes. The interpretation of the story was weak and the event was over priced.
