The Littlest Cove is an immersive play of discovery tailored to audiences ages 3-6. The play follows the lives of three unusual humans, who reside on the edge of a small coastal inlet, off of an island, that no one in the entire world has ever discovered before. Audiences are seated in a large boat, and soon discover that they too, are a part of this enchanting world. They are immersed in the storytelling through play, exploration, and community interactions with the set, props, and performers. 

Conceived, written, and directed by Mara McEwin, and choreographed by Emily Bunning, The Littlest Cove has audiences explore everyday activities with the creatures set up in different areas of the theater. At the fishing hole, there is a place to engage with the puppetry fish. The audience also gathers the wood for the fire, which are created as soft pillows. There is an area of gardening made up of soft felt vegetables, and another area where audiences can “make” the food from the garden vegetables and fish and cook it over the newly made fire. In one area the audience weaves tiny baskets, and in another they make up a tiny song, where one of the crew members also teaches a tiny dance. All the while, the creatures and sea captain mingle in and out of the play space, with songs, dance and interactions. Full of wonder, visuals, tactile and interactive experiences, and oftentimes funny, The Littlest Cove strives to create a culture of inclusiveness, kindness and adventure.

Treehouse Shakers The Littlest Cove, is a joyful experience for the entire family, where the world is fun, humorous, and full of adventures.
