Event Description

Four to ten year olds are invited to enjoy a dramatic reading of picture books and poems by professional actors followed by an interactive workshop where they become the actors. Students bring these stories alive by using their voices, bodies, and imaginations! This month we will be filled with stories celebrating unlikely friendships.

Cost: $15 for one child and an adult, $8 per additional person. Sign up for the month, for $35 for one child with an adult and $20 per additional person, and save or pick individual dates that work for you. There are new books each week!

This month’s books include:
