Our imagination is an essential part of what makes us human. We create new possibilities in the world by first envisioning them. As children, our ability to dream up new things feels absolutely infinite! This season we celebrate the tremendous power of imagination with two funny, playful and highly imaginative shows. 

For older kids, we are delighted to present the world premiere of Roll For It! In this original play, three pre-teens deal with the challenges and changes of a new school year. Together, they learn about family and friendship, all while imagining themselves as mythical characters in a raucous game of Dungeons and Dragons. 

In Peg and the Yeti, a fearless young girl enlists her parents’ help to travel to the very top of the highest mountain in the world! We see grown-ups playing imaginatively alongside their daughter, and helping her to realize her adventurous dreams in this story for young children.

There’s a part for the audience to play in each of these stories, too. So lean in, and ignite your imagination with Carousel Players this season!
