Part musical, part adventure, this inventive new play is designed to take frustrated kids in quarantine on an outrageously fun journey. After entering a door they’ve never seen before, the kids are tasked with saving a faraway city from a villain known only as “The Stench.” Kids will receive a suitcase full of surprises to aid in their quest, and will get to choose where their Zoom story takes them. Filled with musical whimsy and quirky characters, this show is sure to delight kids and parents alike.
Recommended for children ages 6-9.
Kids will be shipped a suitcase filled with puzzles and special items with which they will interact during the show. For households with multiple kids, additional suitcases may be purchased for $25 each. All suitcases will be shipped together in one box. The shipping box can be opened, but the suitcase is not to be opened until instructed during the show.
"As an educator of over 12 years I am thoroughly impressed. You integrated social studies, science, math, literacy, the arts, and social emotional learning in a fun, super engaging, developmentally appropriate, and diverse package. As a parent I was delighted that my five year old was so engaged and excited the entire time, laughing, singing, and learning. My two year old was so enthralled with the singing, backdrops, and puppets, I also couldn't pull her away. I appreciated the intentional use of pronouns, diversity, and positivity. I ended up crying at the last song! I've been teaching virtually for over a year. I've been to countless presentations, virtual field trips, and virtual theatrical events and none of them came close to The Door You Never Saw Before."
– Becca Newman
