July 26-28: Have you introduced your children to live theater? There’s something so fascinating about the magic of theater happening right in front of your eyes that beats sophisticated cinematic special effects (and certainly whatever they may see on YouTube.)
This weekend, many of the shows are by children for children, the culmination of weeks of summer camps “intensives.” It gives children a chance to see their favorite characters on stage, performed by kids just like them. Your only problem may be choosing which one to attend!
Also, check out other local events. From polo to Caribbean culture, they are all unique and should make for a fun and memorable weekend afternoon.
