Blair County Arts Foundation is proud to present another season of Family Theatre at the Mishler. A series of carefully chosen, high-quality, family productions performed live in downtown Altoona’s historic Mishler Theatre. There’s something about watching a story unfold live before your very eyes. The energy of a live theatrical experience; complete with costumes, lights, scenery, and music; is nothing short of magical! The Family Theatre at the Mishler series was developed by BCAF in 1986 to create more cultural opportunities for young people. With the consistently declining budget allocations for arts programs within the school district, the continuation of these valuable programs becomes an even greater priority. This annual series of professional productions attracts nearly 20,000 children, parents, and educators each season and makes a significant contribution to the early childhood educational process.

Join Holmes and Watson as they answer the prince’s summons and conduct their most challenging investigation yet – to find the foot that fits the glass slipper. But with a spiteful stepmother and two ugly sisters on the scene, as well as a father bemoaning the theft of his prize-pumpkin, locating Cinderella is not their only problem.
Bringing together two of literature’s most-loved characters, ‘Sherlock & Cinders’ is an ideal piece for both early and upper elementary students.
Our hero, Robin Hood, and his Merry Band of colorful characters seek the help of the Foresters, manage to waylay the Aristocrats, and set out to rescue Maid Marion and Marion’s Maid. Prince John tries to stay calm as his Sheriff, guards, and horsemen botch Robin’s arrest thanks to the aromatic Skunks. Wacky humor and an original score add to this fresh new look at a legendary outlaw in a legendary time.
Written and composed by Altoona’s own Michael Kooman, this underwater musical chronicles the coming-of-age journey of Finn, a young shark who dreams of following in his family’s footsteps by joining the prestigious Shark Guard.
As Finn faces the challenges of growing up and following his heart, the musical takes us on a magical journey of self-discovery, friendship, and adventure.
When a slime-wave swamps Normsville, and monster mayhem erupts, Norman’s secret explodes into the spotlight and there’s only one team to call- The Grossbusters! Exposed and expelled, Norman is dumped down the rubbish chute of doom and dropped into a wonderful world of weird- with freaky friends, talking burger buns and a rather famous , dustbin-dwelling diva. Together, they plunge into a slime-filled adventure to save the city and discover that different isn’t dangerous- it’s dazzling!
