Over the years we have taken you to different parts of the world, introducing you and your family to vibrant cultures and new points of view. Seeing how people think in faraway places helps us improve communication, empathy and understanding, and builds bridges between us. This season I can’t wait to see BOATS by Terrapin Puppet Theatre and show you Australian storytelling, all the way from the other side of the Earth.
On Opening Nights we’ll continue to roll out the Red Carpet to make you and your family feel like a star. It’s all part of our mission to make the theater-going experience magical for you in every way, every time you visit.
