Why do we stop asking “why?” Children are curious about their world and want to learn about anything and everything that interests them. Where does that curiosity go when we grow older? Can it be reignited?
Designed to reignite curiosity and wonder about the natural world in adults, this performance immerses the audience in an extraordinary — if unusual — experiment. Over the course of one hour, the audience is invited to explore new territory, help solve challenges, and discover new perspectives as the characters learn about their environment, their abilities, and themselves.

Contact Level: None to Moderate (Familial); audience members can opt out of participation and contact.
Content Advisories: The audience will be seated on rolling chairs on the stage and be instructed on where and when to move during the performance. Your direct participation will be required at times. You can leave your coats and bags in secure areas in both venues. Due to safety requirements with rolling chairs, you cannot keep your belongings with you during the performance, as there is nowhere to safely store them on stage.
