Current Season
PHP performs a full season of children’s mainstage plays at Gamut Classic Theatre, located on the 3rd floor of Strawberry Square in downtown Harrisburg. Their goal is to provide live theatre to children and areas that do not normally have the opportunity to experience professional theatre and to spread a bit of laughter wherever they go! Audiences of all ages love their original scripts, quick wit, and improvisational comedy.

Popcorn Hat Young Acting Company: The Jungle Book
April 14 at 2:30 p.m. and 7:30 p.m.
Deep in the jungles of India, an infant “man-cub” is adopted by a pack of wolves and raised as their own. The wolves name him Mowgli, and he grows under the watchful eyes of Bagheera the panther and Baloo the sloth bear, who must train him in the Laws of the Jungle. But not even their strict guidance can protect Mowgli from riotous monkeys, the vicious man-eating tiger Shere Khan, and the most fearsome animal of all – man. This must-beloved classic by Rudyard Kipling shows us the importance of family, respect for nature, and what it means to be a man.
