We aren’t announcing to the public for another month, but we know some of you may be planning in advance almost as far ahead as we do, so we wanted you to be the first to know what’s coming in our theatre for young audiences offerings next season!

Interested in bringing your class next year but not ready to commit? Click the button below to fill in a form to indicate your interest and we’ll make sure to follow up with you directly next fall!

Vibrante. Connected. Con júbilo.
Moonweavings is a puppet show that offers young children a vibrant cultural experience, seamlessly connecting rich contemporary Latin American children’s music—celebrated on stages across the region—with Latin American kids and children hearing this music for the first time.
