The family behind Beltway Bambinos took a much needed vacation to Punta Cana, Dominican Republic (see a few Instagram posts here) and enjoyed every.single.second. But, all good things must come to an end and we’re back and heading in to Spring with great blog posts and ideas ahead.

Waves, all That Glows Sees is showing at The Kennedy Center, presented by Le Théâtre Des Confettis from Canada. Experience the joy of theater in this carefully crafted experience for the very young, written by Véronique Côté! Adults with their little ones follow a pathway of shells and stones into a warm, serene tent on the stage, where a gentle seaside scene awaits. One man makes music, while another dreams of the ocean. Through sand shaping, shadow puppetry, and inventive sound effects, the two performers create tender, magical moments of sea turtles, seagulls, fish, dune grass, ships, and sky. As time passes, one of the men plays at diving into the water in search of treasure, bringing a poetic undersea adventure to life before your eyes. Most enjoyed by age 18 months to 4 years. All patrons, regardless of age, must have a ticket.

Saturday-

11:15am: Balloonacy at Imagination Stage
The story of a lonely man who is revived by a visit from a red balloon is reminiscent of the silent films of Charlie Chaplin and Buster Keaton. The playwright has imagined the man as an older version of the boy in the movie The Red Balloon, now grown up and grown old, having forgotten his youthful adventure. The red balloon returns to rescue its boy! Best for ages 1-5.

11:30am AND 1:00pm: Little Red Riding Hood & The 3 Little Pigs at The Puppet Co
What’s so bad about the Big Bad Wolf? At last, B.B. (Big Bad) Wolfe tells his side of the story, in rap, no less. Has the notorious pork poacher and grandma impersonator gotten a bum rap, or is he truly deserving of his moniker? You be the judge! This tongue-in-cheek version of two children’s favorites uses humor and music to explore our fear of things we don’t understand. This is one of our funniest productions and includes lots of audience participation.
