Dear KidsOutAndAbout readers:

We are thrilled to share information about one of our favorite partners, Imagination Stage! They are the Metro DC area's premiere professional theatre for young audiences, doing fantastic work right in Bethesda to promote positive youth development through the arts.

They have some truly magical shows coming up that would make perfect holiday outings or winter treats for your family!

On Stage Now: A Soaring Holiday Musical!

You can catch The Snowman™ and the Snowdog right now through January 4th!

This is a heartwarming new musical perfect for the holiday season. Based on the animated short (the follow-up to Raymond Briggs' "The Snowman™"), this production is told with breathtaking theatre magic! Imagine talented actors, stunning puppetry, and beautiful projections bringing the story to life: A boy, missing his beloved dog, builds a snowman and a snow dog in his new garden. When they magically come to life, the three embark on an unforgettable journey.

🎟️ Tickets start at just $15! With special matinees running through Thanksgiving weekend and Winter Break, this is an easy-to-fit-in family must-see. Best for ages 4+.

Coming Soon: Beautiful Movement and Wonder!

Mark your calendars for BALLOONACY, running from January 10th to February 15th. This is a beautiful, movement-based show that revisits the classic film The Red Balloon. It's designed to delight even the youngest audience members and speakers of all languages—perfect for everyone!
