Especially on Birthdays

Especially on Birthdays is a joyful, interactive visual theatre show for children and families that explores sibling relationships, change, and the courage it takes to grow. The show follows a pair of twins soon to turn six. Told that they'll be in separate classes after their birthday, one twin - quiet and fearful of change - decides to stay five forever, while the other - boisterous and brave - tries to help them discover the joy of growing and making new friends. Through music, movement, playful audience interaction and the choreography of everyday objects - paper and boxes - the performance creates a magical world that mirrors children’s emotional landscapes. An uplifting original score by Matthew Wilder (Disney’s Mulan) supports a story that is funny, tender and deeply relatable.
