STELLALUNA
January 31 - February 22, 2026
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?
This ASL-integrated theatrical production blends American Sign Language, spoken English, and expressive movement as part of the story itself. ASL is used by key characters, while gesture becomes a bridge for others—inviting audiences to experience how communication grows through imagination, effort, and connection.
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.
