Programs & Events

Children 10 and under and their caretakers are invited to join SMITH, The Junior League of Philadelphia and Temple University’s Imaginarium theater troupe for a day of Music and Theater at SMITH. This FREE event will take place on Saturday, March 13th from 10:00 AM – 1:00 PM. The Junior League will lead children in an instrument making craft activity from 10:00 – 11:00 AM. Temple University’s Imaginarium theater troupe will perform Dream Catcher at 11:00 AM. Adapted from Native American folklore, Dream Catcher takes you on a magical adventure with characters Coyote and Fox as they try to save the Dream Weaver from the mean-spirited Dzoavits. Imaginarium is sponsored by Temple University’s Provost Commission for the Arts Grant, Temple University’s Theater Department and The Rittenhouse Square Flower Market for Children’s Charities. Directly after the show The Junior League will host a dance party for all children in attendance.
