Creating puppets, designing costumes, and dancing a "monster mash" -- Summer Stage's Theatre Bugs took over on Thursdays in the YMCA/UDSD after school programs at Westbrook Park Elementary! This October 'push in' program allowed kids to learn what it is like to be part of the Summer Stage experience -- maybe they will be centerstage someday! We are on to Hillcrest for November - be sure to check with your YMCA instructor to see when they come to your school!

What FUN!! Our first Thursday of "Orchestra In October" at the Primos branch Upper Darby Township Library to celebrate Delco Arts Week! Professional violinist, Ms. Julienne Ikegami, (Ikegami Music Studio) played Beethoven -- Ms. Rachee shared a music-related story time -- and Mr. Chris Labonde, our MusicMan Academy educator, led the kids and their caregivers in active listening, movement, and drawing! The kids really loved moving to the famous Can Can by Orpheus.! Participants also learned about the different instruments of the string section of the orchestra and even had the opportunity to try each one in the instrument petting zoo! (Adults did too!)

Visit us again next week to learn more about the Woodwind Family! Be sure to register: https://delcolibraries.libcal.com/event/11277345
