Bring the whole family for a free, fun-filled musical adventure!

Join us this Sunday, September 20 at 2 PM at the WVU Lyell B. Clay Theatre for Prokofiev’s beloved Peter and the Wolf!

Featuring a live narrator, this timeless musical story introduces children to the instruments of the orchestra in a fun and engaging way—each character is brought to life by a different instrument.

And the fun doesn’t stop with the music! Enjoy pre-concert activities for the whole family, followed by an instrument petting zoo after the concert, where children can get up close and try out different instruments.

➡ Admission is FREE, but pre-registration is required!

Sad news, Book Bag Club friends -- our Purple Crayon Pop-Up Playdate is being shelved to keep all our readers in peak bookworm condition. Stay in with a good book, and add more books to your bookshelf trackers for cool prizes at Camp Cryptid on August 1! We'll see you there!

Some days, outside is NOT the best side.
Due to the air quality in Morgantown today, Spark! has made the difficult decision to not have our STEAM-powered fun booth at the Ruby Amphitheater this evening, July 17.

We will be back next Friday (7/24) with more STEAM fun for everyone!
