Talking with your child:

Yes! And... Collaborative Arts and Eastern University Theatre's Winter Sort of Thing is a perfect first theatrical experience for your young people. We feature wildly imaginative shows with colorful characters including many kids from our Philadelphia-based collaborative arts programs, which gives your child someone "like them" to watch on stage!

We suggest you talk with your child before coming so that they know what to expect. While every show is different, it's probably good for your child to know:

• • The theatre will start off in light, and then dim out so you can see the stage.
• • There will be music, dancing, and sometimes the characters even talk to or enter the audience.
• • You can sneak off to the bathroom during the show, but it's best to try to empty your bladder before you go in, just so you don't miss anything!
• • We'll have an intermission for this show, so you get a break.

Planning your trip

We are excited to have you come and see us! Here's a couple of things you might want to know before coming out.

• • Reserve your tickets by calling or or reserving on-line (at the tickets page). Reserve so we can save you a seat. You will be asked to pay when you arrive at the theatre. You tickets will be held at the box office.
• • Plan on arriving EARLY. Even if you reserve tickets, there's so much fun to have in the lobby beforehand. You and your child can get some snacks (and popcorn), meet some of the characters, hear some music, peruse the photos of the performers, and pick your seats (FIRST COME, FIRST SERVE)
• • There is an upper and lower parking lot around McInnis, which is the main building on campus, but keep coming down that winding road (Thomas Drive) until you see the building with the domes on top (it's the observatory).
• • Once inside, the main lobby and entrance to the theatre is at the opposite end from where you drove in, and next to the lower parking lot.
• • If you know a young person who would benefit from Yes! And... Collaborative Arts programming or want to be a part of Winter Sort of Thing, please view our "About" page - link at the bottom of the main page.
• • If you would like to sponsor our Winter Sort of Thing or become a partner organization, please email.
• • You should also read about Yes! And... Collaborative Arts here.
• • And of course, please read through these frequestly asked questions below. Any questions or concerns you have that have not been answered on this website can be directed to info@yesandcamp.org.

F.A.Q.

• Q: What are the appropriate ages and grades for this performance?
• A: Our captive audience has proved that our Winter Sort of Thing is quite appropriate for almost any age! However, we find that students in grades 4-7 are particularly engaged as they can grasp the subject matter, get almost all the jokes, and follow the plot line.
   
  
• Q: Are there scary moments?
• A: Maybe! There are some intense moments of peril, but we've rarely had an audience member leave because of one, including some 3 and 4 year olds.
   
  
• Q: How long is the performance?
• A: Typically, our shows run between 50 and 75 minutes. There is an intermission (this is different from past years) and the lobby is open for refreshments before, during and after the performance!
   
  
• Q: How do I get tickets?
• A: Call our office at 215-951-0330 x2117 or go to the ticket page to reserve on-line. No money is collected until the day of the performance. Typically, the on-line reservations close a few hours before each performance.
   
  
• Q: Do you offer group discounts for my youth group / temple association / hockey team?
• A: Absolutely! We can make a deal. Email michael@yesandcamp.org for details about this group offer. You can also download a flyer with a coupon to send to your child's school - spread the word!
   
• Q: Will my child be singing the songs from the production months later?
• A: Yes! We've received email from parents all over the Delaware valley as testimony to this!
