Wow! Kick Off Summer with Free Family Shows Outdoors!

Free and Open to the Public - 4 Shows YOU Can Enjoy

A series of free, family shows has been announced for the Watercourt stage at Grand Performances in downtown Los Angeles this summer. 

The stage is built into a giant water fountain on California Plaza which is next to the MOCA and Broad Museums, and Pershing Square. 

There is seating on a first-come, first-served basis or audiences can bring blankets and low-back chairs.

Free interactive workshops begin 30 minutes before each show time and are themed to the performance. Shows include:

Cinderella by Sock Puppet Sitcom Theater (June 12 @3:00pm & 4:30pm) – Dress in your favorite fairytale garb and join the magically and musically re-imagined telling of Cinderella in the style of a television situation comedy...with sock puppets.

Flutes Across the World (June 19 @ 3:00pm) – Award-winning film and theater composer and children’s performer John Zeretzke leads a flute-making workshop and an all-out, interactive jam session for kids to celebrate music of the world’s indigenous cultures.
