Announcing Our 2026/27 Inaugural Season!

Baby Whale and the Plastic Ocean

A move-through, interactive adventure
By Rebecca May Flowers and Kai Flowers
September 11-20, 2026

Following a successful local tour, Baby Whale is expanding into an immersive, move-through adventure as part of the Philadelphia Fringe Festival. 

Baby Whale journeys through the ocean to reunite with Mommy Whale, who has become tangled in a ghost net in the Great Pacific Garbage Patch. Alongside his aquatic pals and new human friends, Baby Whale learns how teamwork, courage, and creativity can help make the ocean safer and more fun for all. Featuring colorful puppets and playful audience interactions, our underwater adventure invites audiences to dive into a world of wonder.


Written in collaboration with Autumn Blalock, Brynne Maddrey, Rose Palmieri, Adriana Santilli, Talia Speak, Reva Stover, and Kaylah Timoney.

Designed to uplift and empower young audiences, The Crown is Yours blends storytelling, movement, and music into a joyful interactive experience celebrating confidence, creativity, and self-expression.

At the heart of the adventure are Tammy and Tommy the Tap Shoes, two lively characters who use rhythm and tap dance to guide children through a world of emotion, imagination, and connection. Through playful participation and percussive movement, The Crown is Yours reminds every child that their voice matters and their crown—their uniqueness and inner brilliance—already belongs to them.
