Early Explore featuring Virginia Rep

Enjoy this blend of science and storytelling developed specifically for young minds!

Led by Virginia Rep’s education specialists, these interactive programs feature props, interpretive elements and characters. Children five and younger and their caregivers are encouraged to explore STEM topics together by using their voice, body and imagination as tools. Virginia Rep will lead guests in story development and improv techniques to create memorable experiences filled with discovery.

Early Explore is a partnership between Virginia Repertory Theater’s Rising Stars Program and the Science Museum. It offers performance-based programming for preschool-age students.

Each live program lasts approximately an hour and is located in LightPlace on Level 0. Early Explore featuring Virginia Rep is included with Science Museum admission.

Programs take place once a month on weekends, and run from 11 a.m.–noon.
