Really beautiful story telling for small children. My toddler was engaged and loved the exploratory play in the second half of the show.

What other caregivers are saying:
Fantastic. Such a safe and welcoming space.
Super interactive and a developmentally appropriate show that changes/grows based on your child's age.
Such an amazing show! I took my 8m old twice as he was captivated by the story telling and loved playing with the props after.

- My child is unwell! Can we come another time?
We understand that raising a child can be pretty unpredictable and that things come up all the time. You can cancel and exchange your tickets through Humanitix until the day before the performance.
- What if my child cries?
There is nothing your child can do in the space that will put off our performer or other attendees in the space. We know that little ones can react in lots of different ways when in new environments. This is a safe and exploratory space for your little one to experience theatre for the very first time.
Please do not worry if your child sleeps, wiggles or cries during the performance or playtime, we've been there and we get it.
