JONES, and PETER PAN.
Queens Theatre is located at 14 United Nations Avenue South, in Flushing Meadows Corona Park. Single tickets are $14 or purchase a Family Series Flex Pass for $100 (10 tickets to use however you want.) Tickets are available online at www.queenstheatre.org or by calling the Box Office at 718-760-0064. Tickets may also be purchased in-person at the Queens Theatre Box Office, Mondays from 10am to 2pm, Wednesdays through Sundays from 10am to 6pm.
Sacramone, a mother herself, is eagerly looking forward to the Family Series shows planned for the spring. "I love seeing families at the theatre. When I see children filing out, after a show, and talking to their parents about their favorite parts of what they just watched, I know that Queens Theatre has succeeded in creating great memories for them. Children are naturally imaginative and creative, and when they are exposed to cultural events at a young age, I know that their interest in the arts will continue."
The schedule for the upcoming family series is as follows:
Dino (Sunday March 2, 2014 at 1:00pm and 3:00pm): From the creators of Ugly Duckling comes another show glowing with electroluminescent puppets!
Toying With Science (Sunday March 23, 2014 at 1:00pm and 3:00pm): Combining circus skills, mime, original music, and audience involvement, Garry and his audience investigate and delve into the imaginations of scientists who explore our world.
