Join us for a vibrant and engaging introduction to the magic of theatre, specially designed for children aged 2-5 and their grown-ups. Two different remounted shows will take place: Imagine That! (3/7 and 3/15) and Splish, Splash: A Day on the Lake (3/8 and 3/14).

Our multi-sensory performances offer a delightful first taste of live theatre, crafted by a dedicated team of educational artists who specialize in early childhood development alongside undergraduate students focused on theatre for young audiences. Come and experience the joy of interactive storytelling and creative exploration with your little ones!
