The Pumpkin Kid: A New Musical

The Pumpkin Kid is a family-friendly musical fable with a live band that combines heartfelt storytelling, toe-tapping songs, and magical autumn spirit. After the show, families can also participate in the optional Pumpkin Kid Carving Experience.

The musical runs approximately 40 minutes. The optional Pumpkin Kid Carving Experience adds about 30 minutes after the show.

The story and songs are designed for all ages—from young children to grandparents. The themes of kindness, forgiveness, and hope resonate with everyone.

Not at all! The Pumpkin Kid is a gentle, heartwarming tale filled with toe-tapping music, laughter, and a touch of autumn magic. Though it’s set in the fall season, there are no frights, jump scares, or spooky moments. The show is designed to be uplifting and fun for kids, parents, and grandparents.

For the show: Just yourselves and a sense of fun! For the Pumpkin Kid Carving Experience: Everything is provided, including pumpkins, carving tools, and patterns. Wear clothes you don’t mind getting a little messy and something to transport your pumpkin home in.

The tools provided for the Pumpkin Kid Carving Experience are designed with safety in mind for families. They are generally not razor-sharp like traditional knives, and most feature serrated or saw-like edges rather than a single fine blade.

If you are a parent or guardian supervising your child and not carving yourself, you do not need to purchase a separate ticket. However, we recommend purchasing a ticket for each child who will be carving so they each have their own pumpkin, tool, and pattern book to enjoy the experience fully.

Yes, you can purchase the Pumpkin Kid Carving Experience at the door, but please note that space and supplies are limited. To ensure your child has a pumpkin, carving tool, and pattern book, we strongly recommend purchasing the Pumpkin Kid Carving Experience in advance.

Not at all! Whether you’re a first-time carver or a seasoned pumpkin artist, the Pumpkin Kid Carving Experience is fun, safe, and guided by the pros. Several of our staff members worked as carvers for Pumpkin Ltd and trained with Master Carver, Barry Brown of BarryBrownCreative.com.

Yes! The original Pumpkin Kid storybook by Barry Brown and Jeff LaGreca is available for purchase. It can be purchased at the venue during events or through select online retailers. Buying the storybook is a great way to continue the magic of the show at home and enjoy the story again and again.

The musical is based on the beloved children’s book by Barry Brown and Jeff LaGreca, with music and lyrics by Suzanne Slade and Jeff LaGreca. Directed by Jeff LaGreca (Android’s New Soul). Choreography by Nick Sugar. Musical direction by Suzanne Slade.
