Looking for something to do with your little ones this summer? Bring them out to Parks Playhouse Junior for an hour filled with fun and entertainment they are sure to love. The performers will help your kids tap into their imaginations and get them moving and grooving. The summer lineup includes sing-a-longs, dance-a-longs, puppets, theater, and more.

Make sure to prepare for each event by bringing your sunny day gear and blankets or lawn chairs for viewing. Make it a mid-morning picnic by bringing along your favorite snacks and treats to munch on while you enjoy the show.

Performances will be rolling throughout the summer on both weekday and weekend mornings from 10 to 11 am. The shows are geared toward kids ages two through twelve. This may vary with some performances, so make sure to check the listings for descriptions.

American Sign Language Interpretation will be provided by Montgomery Parks’ Program Access at some events. Make sure to check the event listings for details.
