Bring the whole family together to celebrate reading and art through creative play! Stories come to life on select Sunday mornings at Writers Theatre.

Wake Up Words pairs story books with interactive drama games and a hands-on art activity offering a fun, creative experience for young children and grown-ups to play together. These relaxed, hour-long sessions presented at no cost are perfect for a weekend morning!

Designed for ages 3-6, siblings welcome.
