EMIT Theatre’s innovative, inclusive world premiere production of La Canción en la Tormenta (The Song in the Storm) brings the tropical rainforest to town for young audiences and their families at El Barrio’s Arts Space PS 109 this August. The blackbox theatre at Artspace PS 109 is an ADA compliant space and all audiences are welcome to free arts-and-crafts activities before the start of every performance.
On the small island of Borinquen, the god Juracán has become upset, causing a wild storm to ravage the beautiful rainforest. El Coquí, the tiny but mighty little frog, must restore peace to the island with the help of the audience! This interactive quest is infused with Spanish language as well as traditional Puerto Rican song, dance, and mythology. Children will learn important lessons about taking care of their environment and their feelings. Sensory friendly, this production is a wonderful choice for children ages 5–10 and their families.
