Children’s Theater in the Garden: “Where the Wild Things Are”
.png)
This is a 5 class series where children will learn about storytelling, puppetry, and performance as we bring the tale of Max and the wild things to life. Students will create and perform their own version of Maurice Sundak’s Where the Wild Things Are outside in the garden. Let the wild rumpus start!
