performance!
November 10th @ 1:30pm Blown Away By Poetry (Ages 5-12 )
After
Wendy Windstorm sneezes the poems out of Poetsville, she must embark on
a journey to recover the town's lost verses. Along the way she learns
abut rhyme, alliteration, and description from a series of helpful
puppet poets. For the grand finale, young people in the audience write
their own original poems, which they are then invited to perform
onstage. Blown Away returns to Urban Stages after touring to BAM and Poets House last spring!
November 17th @ 1:30pm Lucy's Question (Ages 7 - 12)
A brand new musical from the creators of Blown Away By Poetry. Ten year old Lucy is on a scientific quest to find the answer
to some very big questions. Along the way she encounters some strange
fungus, a talking planet, and a host of other boggling realities. Join
in on this puppet pursuit!
