About the Theatre

A stage with seating for audience members provides the perfect backdrop for Discovery Center programs and impromptu, kid-led productions. A chalk wall and table provides space for story creation, set drawing, and creative expression.

Fun Facts
The theatre was built in 2020 in-house by exhibit builder Draque Carver with Shawnee County Coronavirus Relief Funds for Community Based Programs. Shortly after the stage was built, a group of children attending a special sensory-friendly play day at the museum decided to name the area Grasshopper Park in honor of the grasshoppers they found here. We liked their idea!
