Some people think creepy crawlies are just plain gross. But if you look closely, each bug in the garden has a song to sing about the special job it does to help plants grow. Learn more about insects and why it's important to keep them alive. The entire show is crafted with multiple learning styles in mind to keep children engaged as they learn, with opportunities for the audience to sing, dance, and even act out the life cycle of a butterfly! High quality moving mouth puppets and catchy original songs in a variety of exciting styles, from funk to Latin, round out this multi-faceted experience of the performing arts.
