Join us for a fun-filled, casual afternoon of improv games, dancing, crafting, and more. On Sunday, October 20, from 3 PM to 5 PM at Brandywine Elementary School, kids in grades K-8 are invited to dive into a variety of exciting activities. We’ve got something for everyone, from friendship bracelet-making to theatre games like "Try Not to Laugh" and "Night Watchman." Plus, get ready to show off your moves and sing to your heart's content with Just Dance and karaoke! For those looking to get moving, there will also be scheduled dance and choreography lessons to jump into throughout the afternoon. Tickets are just $15 per child or $25 for a pair of siblings, making it an affordable and fun way to spend a Sunday afternoon.
