Sonia's Stormy Saturday and Judy Saves The Day

Glass Half Full is pleased to present two shows for the whole family!

Sonia's Stormy Saturday:
8-year-old Sonia is scared of the dark. Sonia, her mother, and brother Seba move into a new apartment after a natural disaster displaces them, when she is spooked by a big storm. With the help of a giant magical creature, she will discover her light within.

We will be performing this bilingually, with one performance in Español and one in English (with some Spanish).
