In this SUPER SPECIAL and interactive Storytime performance, we team up with local children’s author Kathy Urban to bring her stories to life on stage with the help of your kids!
With the kids guiding the action and creating the characters, our talented improvisers fearlessly jump into action, whether it’s building a spaceship, catching Santa, or battling a dragon! It’s a whirlwind of creativity and fun that knows no limits.
Super Story is not only a great introduction to theatre and storytelling for young children, but also a blast for the whole family, filled with laughter and unforgettable moments! Bring your kids to help us tell a Super Story!
Kathy will be doing a book signing after the performance!
