Splish Splash: A Day on the Lake

February 28 - March 8 in Goodman's Alice Center

Approximately one hour without intermission.

Saturdays and Sundays – 10AM, 1:30PM and 3:30PM

Set sail on a musical adventure across Lake Michigan!

Welcome aboard, sailors! When the moon tumbles into the lake and breaks into pieces, it’s up to a brave crew of young sailors to help the Great Blue Heron and their friends—Crayfish, Beaver, Turtle and Yellow Perch—put it back together again. Through songs, puppetry and joyful hands-on play, little ones and their grown-ups will dive into an underwater world of wildlife, wonder and waves.

Splish Splash: A Day on the Lake is made specially for children ages 0–5 years and their adult friends and family.

Created in collaboration with Northwestern University’s Imagine U, undergraduate students, and 2-5 year-olds from Total Child Preschool.
