EdVenture Hosts Its Storybook Ball

On Saturday, November 19, from 6 to 9 p.m., EdVenture Children’s Museum will host its Storybook Ball. Participants will enter a world of kings and queens, pirates, princesses and fabled creatures as EdVenture transforms into a magical kingdom of storybook dreams. The entire family will enjoy this wonderful evening filled with storytelling and themed entertainment by magicians, performers and artisans. The intensely curious can rub the genie’s lamp and travel to exotic lands filled with whimsical crafts, face painting, and special characters from favorite fables and fairy tales.

Attendees will step into another world to explore Jack and the Beanstalk, Alice in Wonderland, Arabian Nights, Peter Pan, The Royal Court and the Wizard of Oz. The EdVenture team will bring storybooks to life in the Tale Teller’s Theatre. Other activities include a royal dance party and dinner with a unique collection of curious characters. Costumes are encouraged.
