The classic musical for children and adults returns to Chicago! The Marble Squad (an Astronaut, a Ballerina, a Witch and other friends) love to act and dance and sing. They are led by a Captain who is always losing his fuzzy red marbles. Watch them take on the challenge of staging “Romeo and Juliet”—with hilarious results! Episode 1 features surprise celebrity cameos, and award-winning composer Alaric “Rokko” Jans at the piano.

Kerry Reid of the Chicago Reader calls Captain Marbles a “blissfully silly concoction [that] offers something downtown theater desperately needs: an affordable family show free of holiday claptrap.” Click here to read the review.
I wish I could bring all school children and their parents to this delightful morning’s entertainment.I can’t imagine a better way to spend a Saturday. Experience Capt. Marbles have lunch and then do holiday shopping! When you see yourself in the “bean” you know it was a great day to be in downtown Chicago!
