SPOTLIGHT STORY HOUR for KIDS!
A COSTUME EXHIBITION for THE WHOLE FAMILY!
June 21st from 3 - 4 o'clock
This ongoing Summer Saturday Series introduces picture books related to theatre productions in the museum's exhibition of costumes and props in "Stagecraft: 50 Years of Design at Hartford Stage."
In the spotlight this week is The Magic Hat by Mem Fox and illustrated by Tricia Tusa.
"One fine day, from out of town--and without any warning at all--a magic hat appears in the sky. It tumbles and bounces through the air and makes magic wherever it lands. Everyone is delighted as, one by one, the townspeople are transformed into giant playful animals. And then a wizard arrives...."
An art activity will follow the reading of the book. The program is free and lots of fun!
