A nonverbal devised play for ages 2-5.
Two fisherwomen discover they can catch stars instead of fish! They pluck stars from the sky, play catch with beams of light, and even lasso the moon. While one fisherwoman (Enough) is delighted with their catch, the other (More) is always looking for the next, brighter thing. When More’s hunger for light damages their glowing world, Enough must help her make things right. Ultimately, More discovers that her friendship with Enough is her greatest treasure, and that together, they will always have more than enough.With sleight of hand, projections, live music, and gentle invitation to interact with props, Fishing for Stars transports audiences to a starry world.

While visiting a museum, happy-go-lucky Ella and nervous-nelly Gertie stumble across an artist’s studio. To Ella’s delight and Gertie’s consternation, they find Artie the Artist hard at work on a new abstract piece. Ella and Gertie make meaning of the artwork- but will they ever agree on what it represents? And will Artie finish her commissioned piece in time? This museum theatre program offers an interactive performance and artmaking workshop for children and former children alike. Through storytelling, empathy, and interactivity, the play activates the museum space and blurs the line between artist and visitor, empowering audiences to embrace their own creativity.
