Dinner & A Show – Theater: Small Enchantments

Ursinus College Theater and Dance department presents Small Enchantments

The Ursinus College Theater and Dance Department has again teamed up with The Collegeville Economic Development Corp. (CEDC) to offer the first “Dinner & a Show” promotion of the 2026 Fall season, “Small Enchantments.”

Where & When

  • Where: Blackbox Studio Theater, Kaleidoscope Performing Arts Center (map it)
  • When: Thursday, Oct. 1, Friday, Oct, 2, and Saturday, Oct. 3 at 7:30 p.m.; and Sunday, Oct. 4 at 2 p.m. with an ASL interpreted performance.

Inspired by the story of “The Twelve Dancing Princesses” collected in Grimm’s Fairy Tales, small enchantments reimagines not just the story, but also the princesses.

Imprisoned in a castle, the princesses sneak out each night to dance in the forest, wearing out their shoes and returning home before their father, the king, knows they have been gone. But this isn’t the story of the male suitors who seek to betray the princesses’ secret to “win” their hands in marriage. This is the story of fierce, defiant women with ideas, desires, and plans of their own.
