Psst… have you heard? The bloom is back — it’s time to play! Frolic is meant to spark fun in a sensory-friendly space created for and with neurodivergent audiences ages 5 and up and their families.
Welcome to the Garden Club! Grow small with Phoebe the Gardener and her pal Lionel the Glow Worm as they travel from her backyard oasis to a magical garden. Together, we play our way through the four seasons as we glide with Rafael the Butterfly, hop with Eugene the Frog, march with Ash the Ant, and sing with Dot the Ladybug.
Building on Trusty Sidekick’s deep history of working in sensory theater, we’ve crafted an immersive experience that includes music, dance, puppetry, and pure play. Led with a mixture of song and non-verbal cues, our audience are transported to a place where there is no wrong way to play.
Frolic is a co-production by Trusty Sidekick Theater Company, Jumping Jack Theater and The Rose Theater.
