The Conductors
All aboard the magic train!
Where should we go? Who shall we visit? The conductors are on a search for treasure in this play specifically designed for very young children. Featuring live music and playful audience participation, The Conductors is a silly, joyful, and engaging first theatre experience for children ages 2-6 and their families. Join the conductors as they explore community and connection along the railroad lines!
The Conductors can be presented both outdoors or indoors. During the pre-show, audience members are invited to color a train ticket with wherever they'd like to travel on the magic train.
Bring The Conductors to your school or community!
