Wrap up the season with a show that’s as smart as it is silly. Lucas Miller, aka The Singing Zoologist, uses puppets, catchy songs and laugh-out-loud fun to teach kids (and parents!) about wildlife, ecosystems and our role in the natural world. Science class has never been this entertaining.
Make It a Weekend in the City
AJT performances are the perfect centerpiece for a weekend getaway to Anchorage, especially for families coming in from outside the city. Book a hotel, hit your favorite restaurants and let the kids experience the thrill of a big theater performance that they'll talk about for weeks.
