the young and the young at heart.

Families will delight in the amazing line-up of performances this year,
including Space Panorama, John Hadfield’s Monkeys in the House, John
Tartaglia’s ImaginOcean,
Circo Comedia and PASTA! A Pop Ups Puppet Musical. The fun doesn’t stop
on the stage — oh no! Visit the Annenberg Center
Outdoor Plaza
for interactive activities such as crafts, face painting, jugglers
and more in the Children’s Festival FUN ZONE.
My TOP THREE festival picks are:
- John Tartaglia’s
ImaginOcean: Take a magical undersea adventure
through John Tartaglia’s glow-in-the-dark musical puppet show, ImaginOcean.
Watch fish friends, Tank, Bubbles and Dorsel as they set out on a
remarkable journey of discovery and friendship, jam-packed with glowing
bubbles, lovable characters and showstopping music. John Tartaglia’s
(Avenue Q, Broadway’s Shrek: The Musical and Disney’s Beauty and the
Beast) ImaginOcean is a blast for kids of all ages from the first big
splash to the last wave goodbye. Recommended for ages 2-10.
- Circo Comedia: Unpredictable
thrills, side-splitting comedy and daredevil stunts are the signature
style of Circo Comedia, starring the fantastic duo Jean Saucier and
Patrick Côté from Montréal. Featuring their distinctive flair for humor,
acrobatic tricks and daring feats, these bad-boy clowns will entertain
with their wacky showmanship and dazzle with their frenzied magic and
eccentricity. Bolstered by 20-year backgrounds in the circus world,
including previous stints with Cirque du Soleil, these deliriously comical
and irreverent show-men take circus clowning to a whole new level of fun
for all ages! Recommended for all ages.
- Tomorrow’s Music
Stars…Today!: Meet the musicians and the instruments!
Join students from the Curtis Institute of Music, the country’s
premiere institution for training gifted, young musicians, and get an up
close and personal glimpse into the thrilling world of classical music!
The program features Curtis’ emerging stars demonstrating and interacting
with the audience’s youngest members in an intimate and exploratory
setting. Learn how each instrument makes its signature sound, how the
musicians approach their technique and how all of the musicians work
together to create remarkable music. Recommended for ages 5-12.
Tickets are only $10 for all shows, and the ticket price includes access to
the FUN ZONE! For more information visit www.AnnenbergCenter.org.
