About
The wonder of a fresh snowfall, the delight of whistling for the first time, the awe in finding a special treasure comes to life in The Snowy Day and Other Stories by Ezra Jack Keats. This story celebrates the joy of the seasons through a child’s eyes
A timeless classic, The Snowy Day is the most checked-out volume of all time at the New York Public Library and is known for being the first book featuring an African American child to win the Caldecott Medal (The Atlantic). This new ensemble-driven production will explore connections to water and the changing of the seasons through movement and storytelling.
Age Recommendation:
This show is specifically designed for PreK through Grade 4, but the whole family will enjoy the wonder!
Run Time:
Approximately 50 minutes with no intermission.
Tickets:
- General Audience: $16 child | $20 adult
- School Matinees: $16 per ticket. 1 free chaperone ticket for every 20 paid. Discounts available based on financial need.
