Come Play With Us!

Word for Word is expanding its unique approach of bringing literature to the stage with Word for WordPLAY, a new program for children and their families. We hope to offer a space where the power of play, self-expression, and imagination takes center stage—inviting families to connect, laugh, and explore together through the magic of literature and theater.

This year, Word for WordPLAY will launch with a series of family events that will include performances of stories along with other creative activities like theater games (zip-zap-zop, imaginary object relay race, etc.), face-painting, juggling, puzzles, and more all around fun. In early 2026, Word for WordPLAY will premier its first production, bringing the same great acting, staging, and design that you've come to expect from Word for Word. Our approach of using every word from beloved texts will bring the infinite creative possibilities of literature and theater to a new generation.
