Friday Funday at
The Des Moines Community Playhouse
Edgar Allan Crow and the Adventure Clubhouse at The Playhouse are back for the 2023-24 Season!
Friday Funday is a creative, participatory story theatre program where children 4-6 years old and their adults join Edgar Allan Crow at the Adventure Clubhouse at The Playhouse. Here, actors dramatize a favorite story using their imaginations and the costume pieces and props they find in their Magic Trunk. Audience members learn the secret handshake and Magic Storybook spell, and listen for the word of the day.
Performances are at the Playhouse at 10:00 AM and 1:30 PM. Shows are approximately 45 minutes in length.
