Learning and Forgetting

The creative and playful minds that brought you Sleeping Beauty Dreams and Jack and the Magic Bean have teamed up to create Learning and Forgetting, a family tale about remembering.

Young Eva is excited to learn new words and ideas. Her beloved Grandpa forgets – his memories and words aren't close at hand anymore. But that doesn't keep them from playing in the present and creating new stories together. This joyful theatrical experience for kids (ages 3-7) explores intergenerational love with warmth, laughter and puppetry.

Eva and her brother lift Grandpa's spirits on moving day as he transitions into a new home.  Follow along as they find joy in the moment and learn understanding for a lifetime.

Written by award-winning playwright Amaranta Leyva, Learning and Forgetting is based on her own family experiences, and the relationship between a young child and her grandparent who has dementia.

Wonderful for kids aged 3+ , grandparents of all ages (and everyone in between)

Performed in English
