D.W. Counts Down to Kindergarten! The Travelling Play
D.W. Counts Down to Kindergarten! The Travelling Play is a partnership between Boston Children’s Museum and City Stage Co. It is performed on KidStage at the Boston Children’s Museum by the KidStage Acting Company and also travels to community organizations.

About the play
This thirty minute, live performance is designed for 3-5 year olds and their families and caregivers. The story is an adaptation from the Arthur stories by Marc Brown. In the play, Arthur (the big brother) helps his sister D.W. learn some helpful things about going to Kindergarten. There will be times when the audience can be a part of the play too. Other characters include Baby Kate, the Tibble Twins, and Grandma Thora. D.W. Counts Down to Kindergarten! is performed in English only at this time, however, we would like to know if your organization would prefer it in Spanish.
