Running January 31 - February 22: STELLALUNA

Soar into a heartwarming tale of friendship, family, and finding your wings with STELLALUNA!

When a curious young bat named Stellaluna is separated from her mother, she crash-lands into a nest of baby birds—and suddenly, everything is upside down! No flying at night? No hanging by her feet? No sweet, squishy fruit? Stellaluna does her best to fit in, but soon starts to wonder… can she be herself and still belong?

Play Your Way is a special playtime for anyone who would benefit from a quieter, low-key play session at the Children’s Museum & Theatre of Maine (CMTM), designed for families affected by Autism, Sensory Processing Disorder, Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, Down Syndrome, or other challenges.

Play Your Way offers families the opportunity to explore the Museum & Theatre, meet other families with similar experiences, and see if CMTM is the right fit for you and your family.

Visitors to Play Your Way can expect a less crowded environment, modifications to age-restricted areas, and a welcoming space with supportive CMTM staff.
