Take the stage! At Curtain Call Theater, your child can dress up, act out a story, or create their own show. With costumes, props, and a stage to perform on, this space encourages imagination, storytelling, and confidence. Pretend play helps kids develop language, social skills, and creativity.

Try this: “Want to put on a show for me? Who are you pretending to be?”

Overview:

Kids use costumes, props, and a small stage to engage in open-ended pretend play and storytelling. This space builds language skills, self-confidence, and social-emotional awareness through performance and roleplay.

Key Concepts to Reinforce:

- Self-expression
- Collaboration and turn-taking
- Imaginative thinking

Facilitation Tips:

- Ask: “Who are you today?” or “What’s your story about?”
- Use terms like perform, pretend, costume, stage
- Support inclusive play — invite others to join the “cast”
