On Aragon Avenue Children's Theatre Coming Here

A children's repertory theater is coming to Coral Gables. The "Merry-Go-Round" Playhouse, at 110 Aragon Ave., will open a summer workshop for youngsters age 6-15, July 15 and begin its presentation of children's plays Sept. 22 with "Cinderella." Ivan Kivitt, 22, who is starting the theater and will direct, was 10-years-old when he appeared in his first play. It was "Cinderella." As workmen hammered and nailed, Kivitt paused recently to talk about his theater. He said it will be the only theater in the state to concentrate exclusively on children's plays. Kivitt will be assisted by Jean Krasner, author of children's books. He said some of her works will be adapted to the stage. The summer workshop will run from July 15 to Sept. 8. Kivitt said the workshop students, who will be in ages 6-10 and 10-15, will learn varied facets of the theater, such as acting, makeup, voice and scenery. After the opening of "Cinderella," Kivitt will follow with "The Emperor's Clothes" on Oct. 7. All plays will be presented on weekends. The theater will seat 200 persons, Kivitt said.
