Get ready to dig deep into wonder with a dazzling, interactive performance where science, storytelling, and ancient discovery come to life through bubbles! Join River on a time traveling expedition through the paleontology and archaeology of bubbles, uncovering “ancient artifacts”: a mysterious vial of bubbles, a magic bubble wand, and even an ancient clay pot that produces water before your eyes!

Wednesday, June 10 at 6:00 pm. Registration is required. Register here: https://plan.cumberlandcountylibraries.org/event/16815811

Together, we’ll explore a world where dinosaurs roam, discovery, and imagination collide, revealing that even in ancient times, soap and bubbles sparked moments of unexpected joy. Watch as shimmering bubbles rise from the “excavation site,” filled with rainbow colors that reflect the world around us. Kids will learn the science and magic behind bubbles and even have the chance to step inside a giant one.
