We have an exclusive interview with Tom Arvetis, Adventure Stage's Producing Artistic Director, and his infant daughter, Vivian. Check out our video above for insights into balancing creative work and parenting, life after birth with 3 girls under 6, their current production--Walk Two Moon, and their next show--The Giver. Walk Two Moons was adapted by Tom, who also expounds on "adapting" to fatherhood & life in theatre. We continue our series on "How Creatives Parents and How Parents Create".
Highly recommended Walk Two Moons at Adventure Stage Theatre is closing the 8th, with the last public shows happening this weekend. This one's recommended for ages 9 and up, and those under 5 will not be admitted. Check out ChiIL Mama's full review here.
We already gave away a family 4 pack of tickets to one of our lucky readers. This is a must see for families with older children and we highly recommend this beautiful, physical and metaphorical journey as a great, production for parents and kids to experience together.

Thirteen-year-old Sal's mother left over a year ago. When her friend Phoebe's mom disappears, painful memories of Sal's own abandonment come to the surface. Determined to find Phoebe's mother, the girls begin seeing murderous plots and schemes around every corner. Sal shares these conspiracy theories with her Gram and Gramps during a cross-country trip to confront her mother. But it is only through the telling of her friend's tale that Sal ultimately realizes that things - and people - are not always what they seem.
Based on the Newbery Medal-winning novel by Sharon Creech, this play is recommended for ages 9 and up. (4th - 8th grades)
Please note: Children under age 5 are not permitted in the theater.
