Circle Theatre is excited to announce a reinvisioned Magic Circle. Traditionally this annual family show features classic children’s productions. In 2022 Magic Circle will bring storytelling to kids fingertips, taking character drawings from local children at Spectrum Health Helen DeVos Children’s Hospital and creating one-of-kind productions based on their drawings. Magic Circle, where imagination takes stage.

Dogs Love Cupcakes: The Incredible True Story of the Life and Times of Jeff
Jeff doesn’t like a lot of things, but he does like inventions.  Irritated when the townspeople are prepping for the annual bake sale fundraiser, he seeks some peace and quiet.  All he wants is to work on his newest invention. He doesn’t get along with most people, and likes even fewer.  After seeing how well others in his life treat him even though he’s a big grump, Jeff comes to learn that his old way of thinking is something to leave behind, and it costs nothing to simply be nice.

Character creation by Emma, Levi, Violet, and Griffin. Story and script by Don Wilson.
