Little Ones, Big Wonder

Story Stroll blends early literacy, movement, and discovery into an experience made for curious young explorers. Designed for toddlers and preschoolers, Story Stroll invites families to move through a story together, encountering characters, problem solving, and playful moments along the way. Research shows that children build language and comprehension skills through repetition, physical movement, and interactive storytelling. Story Stroll brings these elements together by allowing children to hear stories, see them come to life, and actively participate as the narrative unfolds. Rather than sitting in one place, children are encouraged to walk, point, respond, and engage with the world around them. Caregivers support and participate alongside their child, helping turn the experience into a shared adventure that builds confidence, vocabulary, and a love of discovery.

Our Shows Onstage for very young audiences bring all the care and research of Theatre for the Very Young into a traditional theatre setting, while keeping the experience flexible, responsive, and child-centered. These performances are created specifically for toddlers and preschoolers, with shorter run times, simple narratives, and rich sensory design. Children are welcomed to react naturally. They may clap, talk back, move from their seats, or quietly observe. Performers are trained to respond to young audiences, making each show an interactive experience. Rooted in research on attention development and social learning, These shows encourage imagination, emotional awareness, and shared focus between children and caregivers. They offer a first theatre experience that feels safe, joyful, and age appropriate, proving that even the youngest audiences can be thoughtful, engaged participants in live art.
