TREEHOUSE SHAKERS to Perform World Cup-Inspired Family Theater at Flushing Town Hall
The NYC-based children's theater company will lead interactive music and dance for kids aged 4-8.
On Saturday, July 18, and Sunday, July 19, Flushing Town Hall (FTH) will bring back the popular Treehouse Shakers, the New York City-based children's theater company, for two mornings of fun and engaging family performances designed for children aged 4-8 and their caregivers.
On Saturday, July 18, at 10:30 am, Treehouse Shakers Presents: Let's Get Moving! will deliver a lively, immersive performance for young audiences and their caregivers, combining world folklore, live music, and the magic of soccer. Storyteller Mara McEwin and percussionist Roderick Jackson weave together tales from around the globe that celebrate teamwork, collaboration, and resilience. Drawing on the spirit of the beautiful game, the performance brings life to the lessons of the field—strategy, perseverance, and the joy of working together. As Queens welcomes soccer fans to the World's Borough for the World Cup, young participants will be invited to move like Messi and dance, and play alongside the performers, turning passive listening into an active, joyful experience.
On Sunday, July 19, at 10:30 am, Treehouse Shakers Presents: Let's Work Together! which will provide an immersive, movement-filled performance that invites young audiences and their caregivers to explore the power of collaboration and resilience. Storyteller Mara McEwin and percussionist Roderick Jackson will combine world folklore and live percussion music, bringing to life stories of team spirit, shared goals, and the life lessons found in the games we play. Young participants will learn movement and dance inspired by soccer and team play, transforming a performance into a joyful, full-body experience.
“Even the youngest audiences benefit from attending and participating in creative performances, and Treehouse Shakers is one of the few theater companies that builds that foundation early, developing theatre experiences for the very young,” says Ellen Kodadek, Executive & Artistic Director of Flushing Town Hall. “We're delighted to welcome back Mara and Roderick for a fun weekend of movement and imagination. With the World Cup sparking excitement across the diverse communities in the World's Borough, these performances beautifully capture the same global passion, scoring big with fun, interactive activities that will get our youngest neighbors moving.”
