WE'RE GOING ON A BEAR HUNT
SYMPHONIC STORYTIME - SENSORY FRIENDLY PERFORMANCE
MARCH 7 • 3:00 PM

For thirty-plus years, young readers have been enjoying the chant-aloud book "We’re Going on a Bear Hunt" by Michael Rosen, swishy-swashing and squishy-squashing through tall grass, a muddy swamp and more! In this exciting screen-to-stage adaptation, using the 2016 animated film with an original soundtrack by Stuart Hancock (and a transcription commissioned by WP Bands), children will learn the instruments of the band while joining the adventure! Plus, a special sing-along will be part of the experience and guest appearance from WP’s beloved mascot, Pio!

Tickets: Adults $15, Children under 17 $10, and free admission for children ages 2 and younger.
