This funny and heartwarming play focuses on characters Zoey and Leah, who have been best friends for as long as they can remember. They still wear the friendship bracelets they made together at summer camp when they were seven! Now that they’re in grade six, things are beginning to change between them. Zoey is an athlete who loves soccer more than anything. Meanwhile, Leah is drawn to art, and especially to fashion, as her mom teaches her how to sew.

 Ahoy, Young Explorers!

Set sail on an exciting adventure at the Museum with our Pirate-Themed "I Spy Bottle" Workshop! Kids will become mini treasure hunters as they embark on a thrilling scavenger hunt through the galleries, discovering hidden gems, shiny trinkets, and mysterious pirate loot.

Once the treasures are found, little buccaneers will craft their very own I Spy Bottle, filled with sand, sparkle, and all the treasures they've uncovered. It’s the perfect keepsake to remind them of their high-seas museum quest!
