Adventure Theatre is excited to premiere a new production full of science and exploration with Bean and Widge Go to the Park! Join Adventure and Faction of Fools in collaboration with Adventure Theatre for this heartfelt and silly digital production that introduces climate change to kiddos (and adults) with a spirit of accessibility and hope.
Bean is well-meaning but chaotic. Widge is small but chock-full of gumption. They’ve come to Glen Echo Park to work on a school science assignment, but before they can even read it, they lose their homework and discover it has been ripped into pieces! Bean and Widge must search the park for the missing pieces, and along the way meet new friends (fuzzy and human alike!), learn how they can make a difference, and become best friends.
