Storytelling, one of the oldest forms of human entertainment, connects us to one another historically, and culturally. It builds language skills, empathy, and fosters creativity. Plus it’s fun and EVERYONE can do it! Enjoy a performance of interactive tales that will have all ages laughing, singing, and acting. Create memory bracelets and finger puppets for retellings at home. 

 JULY 23 Micah Sommersmith Music

Micah plays the accordion and sings familiar tunes, as well as original pieces, masterfully engaging kids in song, dance, and thought games. As a father of three, his humor hits the mark with kids every time!
