Bookworms

Bookworms Poster Crumple Low Res (1).jpg

A library is a space of wonder and imagination, where you can find every story that ever has been and ever will be. But what goes on Beyond The Bookshelves?

 

Bookworms brings us to a library where a Storyteller has brought books to share. But as they tell the stories, they find that someone...or someones...has mixed them up! When two mischievous bookworms arrive from Beyond the Bookshelves to ask the Storyteller for help, the audience must decide what to do!

 

Bookworms is a new participatory play that combines traditional storytelling with interactive problem solving to celebrate every person's natural ability to tell a story. Featuring live music, movement, and puppetry, Bookworms is best enjoyed by children ages 3-6 with their caregivers. 

 

Estimated Runtime: 45 minutes

There is a pre-show coloring activity and audience members are invited to join up to 15 minutes before the performance.
