Spellbound's Committment to
​Anti-Racist Theatre Making, 2024 

April Programming Highlights

Catbear got a big crowd at Babytopia!

Stand Clear of the Closing Doors, Please at Babytopia was an absolute hit. Thank you to everyone who visited us in Downtown Brooklyn to enjoy Catbear's adventure! Special thanks to Mommy Poppins for organizing the event and to Claire Hsu for the sweet performance. 

CMOM transformed into a zoo for our performance of The Naughty Penguin 

Spellbound was thrilled to meet so many new friends at Children's Museum of Manhattan. The Naughty Penguin captured the hearts of so many museum goers! We are so grateful for this partnership. 
Special thanks to Dorothea Gloria and Lorenza Bernasconi for bringing us on an adventure through the 'zoo.'
Lullaby Land celebrates the diversity of languages in our city and mirrors the diversity of artists in the Spellbound ensemble, as we seek to develop Spellbound’s commitment to antiracism both internally and with our audiences. This show, for 3-6 year olds and their caregivers, takes the universal experience of falling asleep and creates a magical, musical, and mysterious exploration of different languages and aesthetics from regions across the world. Lullaby Land is a devised theater project, which means that it was created by artists, or devisors, collaboratively through collective improvisation and play without an original script.

Click here to explore this project's progression from original web-series for very young children to a true theatrical production, and how you can be a part of bringing Lullaby Land to new audiences!

Lullaby Land Press: Feature in TYA Today
