  Halloween Children's Concert - Sunday, October 20, 2024 3:00PM.

     CHILLS AND THRILLS! It's creepy, crawly and so much fun it's spooky! Your little ghost or goblin will help haunt Long Center's Dell Hall for Austin Symphony Orchestra's annual Halloween Children's Concert. This exciting concert features frightfully fun symphonic music that is stimulating for young eyes and ears (ages 4-11). This season, your ASO will feature The Composer is Dead a riotous collaboration between composer Nathaniel Stookey and children's author Lemony Snicket (aka Daniel Handler) that combines two elements of great storytelling: music and suspense. ASO Assistant Conductor Pablo Zamora and actor André Martin will lead the orchestra through this gripping murder mystery where every member of the orchestra is a suspect! The mysterious whodunit gets underway with Pre-Concert Activities for Kids at 2:00 pm on the Long Center's H-E-B Terrace, including musical and Halloween crafts, games, and an Instrument Petting Zoo. A one-hour narrated concert will follow, starting at 3:00 pm in Dell Hall. Come in costume - many members of the orchestra will too. Don't forget to enter our Spooktacular Costume Contest - prizes will be awarded onstage during the concert, including for The Scariest, The Most Original, and "Best-Dressed Dead Composer." (less) ...

  ABOUT DISNEY’S BEAUTY AND THE BEAST Nov. 14 - 24 Based on the smash hit 1991 Disney animated feature and dating back to a late 18th-century classic French fairy tale, Beauty and the Beast tells the story of Belle, a beautiful and intelligent young woman who feels out of place in her provincial French village. When her father is imprisoned in a mysterious castle, Belle’s attempt to rescue him leads to her capture by the Beast, a grisly and fearsome monster, who was long ago trapped in his gruesome form by an enchantress. The only way for the Beast to become human once again is if he learns to love and be loved in return. There is a time limit, too: once a magical rose loses all of its petals, all hope will be lost and he will stay a Beast forever. The Beast’s enchanted household--populated by such beloved characters as Mrs. Potts, Lumiere, Cogsworth, and Chip--watch anxiously as Belle and the Beast grow to understand and befriend one another. Their feelings grow ever deeper as the clock ticks and petals continue to fall off the enchanted rose--will they confess their love for one another before it is too late? (less) ... Read more

  Thanksgiving and Winter Break Camps - Austin

     Here, we put kids in charge. Preposterous? Possibly. Effective? You betcha. When you trust kids, they trust themselves. Since 1980, we’ve put kids in charge of their own learning experience. As they try, fail, and learn on their own, they learn to trust their own judgment, and tackle the challenges of an ever changing world with creativity and confidence. Campers choose from a variety of activities in real-time including coding, sewing, maker crafts, performing arts and more. Families join for any number of days–no weekly sessions or commitments required. You don’t even need to tell us when you’re coming–just register and show up! And if for any reason your plans change, we’ll refund your unused Passes automatically in full at the season's end. Lunch, snacks, and all hours (8am–6pm) included. Austin–South Thanksgiving Camp Parkside Community Montessori School 3207 W Slaughter Ln.

  Charlotte’s Web -

     October 22 - November 9 Tuesdays - Fridays 10 AM and NOON Based on the beloved classic of children’s literature, Charlotte’s Web tells the tale of an unlikely friendship between a spider and a pig. The most enchanting characters are here: Wilbur, the irresistible young pig who desperately wants to avoid the butcher; Fern, a girl who understands what animals say to each other; Templeton, the gluttonous rat who can occasionally be talked into a good deed; and, most of all, the extraordinary spider, Charlotte, who proves to be “a true friend and a good writer.” Determined to save Wilbur, Charlotte begins her campaign with the “miracle” of her web in which she writes, “Some pig.” It’s the beginning of a campaign which ultimately ends with the now-safe Wilbur doing what is most important to Charlotte. Tender and heartwarming, this play celebrates the bonds of friendship and the importance of loyalty.
