Saturday drop-in “Play Me a Story” interactive theater workshops at Portland Stage.

Do your kids have a flair for the dramatic? Do they easily slip into characters and pretend play? Portland Stage has the perfect outlet for your kids on select Saturday mornings!

“Play Me a Story”, an interactive reader’s theater workshop series, invites children between the ages of 4-10 to enjoy a performance of 2 popular children’s books then explore these tales during an interactive workshop with our teaching artists!
