On Dec. 5, AMFA’s world-premiere musical plays at 2 p.m. in the Performing Arts Theater. This 60-minute performance includes ASL interpretation.
All times are local to the venue · America/Chicago
Saturday, December 5, 2026, 2:00–3:00 p.m. The event page lists a 60-minute running time.
A quest gives AMFA’s Gingerbread Man more room than a straight retelling: its original musical follows the familiar character through humor and self-discovery. The Dec. 5 afternoon performance is the one listed with ASL interpretation.
The Arkansas Museum of Fine Arts bills the production a world premiere. Its broad premise sends the Gingerbread Man on an unexpected quest, with theatrical storytelling, comic moments and holiday cheer shaping the musical.
AMFA also points to self-discovery as part of the journey. That gives families a sense of the show’s approach: a stage musical that reimagines a familiar character, rather than a straightforward retelling.
