About The Smalls

Join us for The Smalls, a 50-minute interactive performance designed to teach children aged 3-5 about the magical microworld beneath their feet. With dance, live music and fun costumes, the company welcomes children to engage, play and learn about microscopic soil creatures on their own terms.

Bring your children to an underground world where they are invited to sing and dance as they explore how animals that are weenier than worms are essential to the future of our world.

The Smalls
creates a relaxed environment for children, aged 3-5, to experience live performance for the first time.

This intimate performance takes place in the Founder's Studio at The Place.
