FAMILY GARDEN DAYS
Welcome to GMT’s outdoor family adventure and story theatre event!
FAMILY GARDEN DAYS - On The Outdoor Stage
Final performance JUNE 19
Join five storytellers for an outdoor story theatre experience and garden exploration. This 90-minute outdoor family adventure is designed for families to share in storytelling, explore nature, create art together, and learn about a community garden that grows because of the inspiration of a single planted seed.
When the Garden Gates open - set out on a scavenger hunt and discover fruits, vegetables, plants and flowers in The Marshall Gardens.
Next, find a seat for a story theatre presentation based on the book “Seedfolks.”
Then we will get creative as we build a giant community art project for the whole neighborhood to see.
Finally, every child will have the chance to plant a flower in their own pot to take home.
**Limited tickets and seating.
GMT’s OUTDOOR STAGE
is part of the nonprofit Garry Marshall Theatre. The event components (story, art, exploration and planting) all take place in our private courtyard gardens located at 4252 W Riverside Drive in Burbank. The entrance is on Riverside Drive through the main gates. We will be surrounded by beautiful plants, flowers, butterflies, big sky and fresh air. Please wear hats, sunscreen, and anything your family wears to protect from our sunny California weather. There will be large umbrellas and canopies to provide some shaded seating sections.
