About
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?
Told through graceful movement, enchanting puppetry, and original music, STELLALUNA brings the beloved story to life in a magical journey across seven delightful episodes.
Get ready to flap, flutter, and fly along in this beautiful celebration of being different, sticking together, and discovering who you truly are. Because when you follow your heart, you just might find your way home.
Best enjoyed by: Perfect for audiences of all ages, this adaptation of Janell Cannon’s beloved book celebrates friendship, identity, and the magic of finding your wings.
