Stage Adeptation: Harriet’s Halloween Candy

Harriet’s Halloween Candy unfolds as a lively, colorful musical perfect for young audiences and families. The stage bursts with playful Halloween imagery that bring Nancy L. Carlson’s classic picture book to life.

Harriet, the spirited heroine, parades in with a mountain of Halloween candy and a stubborn refusal to share it with her little brother or classmates, setting the story’s central conflict in motion.

Through comedic schoolroom antics, slapstick skateboarding moments, and catchy songs by Chad Henry, the production keeps children giggling while gently weaving in its message about generosity and empathy.

The energy builds until Harriet realizes that candy tastes sweeter when shared, and the show concludes with her mother praising her for finally opening her heart.

Fun, fast-paced, and visually dynamic, the performance feels less like a morality tale and more like a joyous Halloween party on stage, leaving kids entertained and parents smiling at the lesson tucked inside the laughter.
