How do you smile? With your mouth or with your eyes? Does it show on your face or just on the inside? We all have different ways of showing, sharing and processing our emotions. In RLT’s first Theatre for the Very Young (TVY) production, this delightful show explores how all smiles are unique.

Created by Tinashe Kajese-Bolden & Samantha Provenzano. Directed by Terra Hodge.

What is Theatre for the Very Young?
Theatre for the Very Young (TVY) is theatre designed for ages zero through five to support their cognitive development. It is largely, if not entirely, non-verbal and very interactive. The purpose of TVY is to support our youngest audience members in engaging with creative play, introducing them to narrative storytelling, and exploring social and emotional learning in a fun and approachable way. TVY is designed to be sensory friendly and an open space for movement, vocalization, and exploration!

This production is especially catered toward ages two – five years old, developing their language and communication skills. All Smiles is about how we express our emotions through our faces, bodies, and tones, as well as how we respond to other people’s emotions. Through music, movement, and drawing, audience members will join our actors on an adventure to create and share smiles through silliness and art! In moments of joy, you are invited to share in the laughter, and when the characters feel hard emotions like sadness or disappointment, you are invited to help us come up with what to do and how to be a good friend.

Performances are scheduled on select days from September 4 - 15, 2024.

Sensory-Friendly Performance | September 14 at 10:00 a.m.
