The Elves and the Shoemaker: The Musical

Experience the power of magical fun and kindheartedness during the Racine Children’s Theatre (RCT) production of “The Elves and the Shoemaker: The Musical” Friday, November 9 through Sunday, November 11.

Lockhart Cobblestone, the shoemaker, has a kind heart but little money in his pocket. Moved by the plight of an old beggar woman, he gives her his last pair of shoes. Poor Lockhart has leather enough to make only one more pair of shoes and sets it out to work on the next morning.

Then the fun begins when five weird, endearing little elves pop out and whip up the most fantastic and magical shoes the town of Clankbottom has ever seen. This musical retelling of an old favorite is filled with delightful characters and also holds a message about kindness.

Sponsored by SC Johnson, “The Elves and the Shoemaker” is performed by E. Motions. Packy, the RCT elephant mascot, greets the audience at each performance. Afterwards, children have the chance to meet the cast and get pictures and autographs. Just over an hour in length, these shows are great ways to make new memories.

Performances take place on Friday, November 9 at 5:30 and 7:30 p.m. and Saturday, November 10 and Sunday, November 11 at 12, 2, and 4 p.m. Individual tickets are $6 each for children and adults with general seating for each performance.
