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 playful audience participation, The Conductors features original music and celebrates themes of community, friendship and new experiences - while exploring everywhere a train may take you and everyone it may connect you with. A perfect first theater experience for the very young, our whimsical show encourages audiences to “find their treasure” in everyday adventures, whether it be in blanket forts with grandma or meeting new friends in outer space.
The Conductors is best enjoyed by children ages 2-5 with their families.
