Bringing the beauty of theater, dance, and music to our kiddos is an amazing opportunity for us as parents.   Experiencing these arts through our children’s eyes, seeing the excitement on their faces, and watching as their curiosity blossoms is a truly magical experience.  

Even though some of our beloved shows have been postponed or cancelled, there are a few opportunities available over the coming months.
