The Adventures of Harold
and the Purple Crayon

One evening, Harold decided to go for a walk in the moonlight. There was no moon, and there was no path — so he simply drew them. That’s all it takes: one boy, one crayon, and an imagination with no limits. Enchantment Theatre brings Harold and the Purple Crayon to life with all the wonder of Crockett Johnson’s beloved classic. 

• Imagination Leads, Adventure Follows: For more than sixty years, Harold has inspired generations of children to dream bigger, explore further, and imagine what might happen next.  This enchanting adaptation captures the warmth and playfulness that made the original irresistible.
• Harold’s World Leaps Off the Pages: Enchantment Theatre transforms Harold’s adventures into a full stage production, combining life-size puppets, pantomime, dance, magic, and original music. From shooting stars and spaceships on Mars to a circus lion and an enchanted castle, every scene springs to life before your eyes.
• The Crayon Is Mightier: Harold jets to Mars, joins a circus, and rescues a princess — all with a purple crayon and limitless imagination. For young audiences beginning to discover the power of imagination, there is no better story to see brought to life.

This is for anyone whose heart is young and adventurous — which, in our experience, is everyone in the room.
