Emit Theatre Presents LA CANCIÓN EN LA TORMENTA, A Bilingual Interactive Play For Young Audiences

Emit Theatre will present LA CANCIÓN EN LA TORMENTA, an interactive original performance for young audiences and families, directed by José Noel. The pop up performance of La Canción en la Tormenta will run at 11am on Saturday, June 11 and is hosted at Lola & Tots at 1109 Fulton St. in Brooklyn. The performance is free but reservations are required and can be made online at www.emittheatre.org.

Audiences will be whisked away to El Yunque rainforest in Puerto Rico to help the tiny but mighty Coquí frog save the home she loves. Coqui's home has been destroyed after the god Juracán has become upset and caused a wild storm to ravage the rainforest! This interactive quest is infused with Spanish language as well as Puerto Rican music and mythology. Children will learn important lessons about taking care of their environment and their feelings.

All of Emit Theatre's productions are built to be engaging for multiple ages and abilities and allow audiences to experience plays in their own ways. All audience members are encouraged to become active participants in the story. Fun for everyone, crafted for ages 4-9. Run time is approximately 45 minutes.
