Join Edgar Allan Crow and the Adventure Clubhouse at The Playhouse crew as they dramatize a favorite story using their imaginations and the costume pieces and props they find in their magic trunk.

Adventure Clubhouse is a creative, participatory story theatre program for children 4-6 years old and their adults. Children learn the Adventure Clubhouse secret handshake, the spell to open the magic storybook, and listen for the word of the day. A new story is presented each month! Students are encouraged to use their imaginations, read, develop creative thinking skills, and be inspired to explore their world.
