About the Program
Story Time (Thursdays and Fridays at 2:15 pm)—Let your imagination run wild as you become part of the story! Stories include “The Tree of Life,” inspired by South American folklore of the Chorote people; “Yu the Great,” inspired by Chinese folklore; “Muskrat and the Mud,” inspired by Native American folklore of the Lenape tribe; and “The Girl and the Water Pot,” inspired by Central African folklore of the Kwaya people.
Music Jams (Saturdays and Sundays at 11:15 am)—Choose from a variety of instruments—including djembe drums, Indonesian hand drums, and shakers and scrapers from South and Central America—and work with others to follow basic beats, participate in challenges, and build community through music!
Suitcase Puppet Shows (Wednesdays and Saturdays at 2:15 pm)—Discover a brand-new series of interactive Toy Theatre performances from Noah’s Ark at the Skirball. Each compact puppet show unfolds from a suitcase to tell a timeless flood story from around the world—inviting audiences to join in, imagine, and reflect on what it means to care for one another and the planet we share.
