run on Saturday and Sunday, April 9-10 at 2:30 p.m. All tickets are $7.00 with

Grimm fairy tale, "Hansel and Gretel" is part of an annual tradition of children’s
theatre created in 1971 at IU Northwest's Theatre Northwest. More than 14 private
performances for schoolchildren complete with audience interaction and special
effects will precede the weekend public presentation.
