(Non-member ticket prices include general admission for the full day.) This workshop is for children and adults, 6 years old and up.

When children pretend, they’re using their imaginations to move beyond the bounds of reality. A stick can be a magic wand. A sock can be a puppet. A small child can be a superhero.
