THE LITTLE ENGINE THAT COULD
Theatre for the Very Young Performance
For Families and Young Audiences Ages 0\+
November 11th - 15th, 2026
\(No performance Thursday, Nov. 12\)
When the biggest engines can’t make the journey, one small engine has a big task ahead. In this playful, immersive reimagining of the beloved story, the world of the Little Engine comes to life all around you.
Tracks twist and wind, cargo must be delivered, and the mountain feels just a little bit too tall. With each moment, the journey builds, inviting audiences to join in, help along the way, and discover what’s possible when we believe in ourselves.
The Little Engine That Could is joyful introduction to live theatre where every audience member is part of the story.
