York University Children's Theatre invites the York community to a free performance of The Commedia: Voyages of Sinbad this Friday, April 18 at 7:00 p.m. The performance will be held in the Bartholomew Performing Arts Center. No tickets or reservations necessary.

All aboard for exciting sea-faring adventures as the commedia troupe guides us through a creative version of the seven voyages of Sinbad the Sailor! Visit foreign lands as the players bring to life the giant Roc bird, Zughub the Ogre, the Old Man of the Sea, and more!

“This is my first time acting in Children’s Theatre,” said Jude Gray, a freshman from Lincoln, Neb., “and I love getting to perform for the audience, see their reactions to our jokes, and answer the questions that they ask.”

The cast includes Jude Gray, Addison Harrold, Cheyenne Kiely, and Sidney Richie. The show is directed by Professor John I. Baker III.

“I love the joy we get to bring to children,” shared Addison Harrold, a sophomore from Wichita, Kan. “I also love that I get to play a princess!”

“My favorite part of being in Children’s Theatre is making the children laugh,” said Cheyenne Kiely, a sophomore from Limon, Colo. “Being able to see all of the kids' eyes light up with joy as they see us older kids being goofy is so cool!”

This is the Traveling Children’s Theatre’s 28th year of sharing joy and good laughs through performance! The group performs nearly 20 times in a spring semester, visiting elementary schools and other community venues in the surrounding area.
