PAIGE IN FULL with Paige Hernandez
FEB 3, 2025/ 10 AM
Recommended for Grades 6 - 10
$5 / Per Person for Students & Adults
Paige in Full is a visual mix-tape that blends poetry, dance, visual arts, and live music to tell the tale of a multicultural girl growing up in Baltimore, MD. The production explores how a young woman’s identity is shaped by her ethnicity and popular culture, telling a personal, yet universal, story through the lens of hip-hop.
“Her work was extraordinary – her show is smart, engaging, challenging, and relevant. The students laughed hard, got up and danced, went silent when the story turned serious, and stood cheering at the end.” – Aimée M. Petrin, Executive Director, Portland Ovations, Portland, Maine

Timbalooloo
MAR 10, 2025 / 10 AM
Recommended Grades PreK - 2
$5 / Per Person for Students & Adults
Timbalooloo is an interactive and educational musical party that introduces children to melodies, rhythms, and instruments used by musicians across the globe. The performance starts off with a problem: Oran’s friend Clara was excited to come to the concert, but she fell asleep. He brought her to the concert anyway - in her bed! The kids join Oran in singing to wake her up and discover her name is Clara Net…Oran’s clarinet! With more singing, clapping, dancing and drumming, children see all of the instruments onstage come to life and learn that making music means bringing their own character, humor and emotion to their artistry.
