Running Time: ~ 60 minutes
Recommended Grades: PreK – 5thAbout the show
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 Page
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. Harold’s adventures remind students that imagination can solve problems, inspire creativity, and turn ordinary moments into extraordinary adventures.
Bring your imagination — Harold and one purple crayon will take care of the rest.
