Beginning Saturday, preschoolers will dress up as their favorite dinosaur and roar. They might even create their own Jurassic background.
This fall, the theater presented "The Movie Set Mystery," "Edith Wilmans on Her Campaign Tour," "The Talent Show Mystery," "Mystery at the Toy Store" and "The Search for the Hidden Toys."
Its latest is "The Missing Dinosaur Adventure," designed for ages 3 to 6, which will play live on Zoom at 2 p.m. on Saturdays through February.
The premise: Baby Dinosaur is missing, and fellow dinosaurs (that's the kids in the audience) have to help find her.
Pollyanna Artistic Director Judy Matetzschk-Campbell said when she started to wrap her head around how to do children's theater without gathering together, she wanted no part of recorded performances that kids could watch. "I couldn't put my heart on that," she said.
