This new, experiential theatre piece developed and produced by Imagination Stage, is an intimate introduction to live theatre for children ages 2-5 years and their teachers or caregivers. The audience is invited into the world of Brother and Sister Bear as they discover the seasons of the year. Children may join in the action throughout the show. Themes of the cycle of the seasons and the dreams that we pursue from day to day and year to year underpin the story which is funny at times but also reflective, gentle and a delightful exploration for young imaginations. Performances run 40 minutes. Recommended child to adult ratio is 4 to 1.
Imagination Stage is a participant in the New Generations Program, funded by the Doris Duke Charitable Foundation/The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation and administered by Theatre Communications Group, the national organization for American theatre.
