Family Fun at Philadelphia's Plays & Players Theatre!

Plays & Players Theatre in Philadelphia is your go-to family destination this weekend as it presents Delaware Mudtub and the Mighty Wampum. This original production for kids explores mythic animals local to the area - the great blue heron, the red fox, and the box turtle, as well as the stories of the people once indigenous to the Delaware River - the Lenni-Lenape. The Lenape, meaning "the people," thrived in the Delaware Valley and passed down folktales about the animals in their midst. They were well-known for crafting wampum beads - the beads, strung together, created wampum belts that told the stories of the Lenape families. Delaware Mudtub & the Mighty Wampum runs at Plays & Players' Third Floor Skinner Studio March 13- March 29. Performances run Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays at 7pm, and Saturdays and Sundays at 11am and 2:30pm. Purchase tickets online at www.playsandplayers.org or by phone at 866-811-4111.
