Children’s museum opens new Daniel Tiger exhibit

IF YOU GO

Social-emotional skills are important for children — and adults — of any age.

Beginning this weekend, though, the Children’s Museum of Atlanta is targeting kids up to 6 years old as part of a new exhibit that focuses on community, communication and emotion.

“Daniel Tiger’s Neighborhood,” a PBS spinoff of the beloved “Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood,” opened at the children’s museum in exhibit form on Saturday, and will run through Jan. 6.

The exhibit, which is making its way to children’s museums across the country, allows children to explore Daniel Tiger’s world through “immersive experiences,” such as an imagination stage, a clock-making factory, a music workshop and more.

“Kids in this age range are concrete learners, so seeing and interacting with (an exhibit) is ideal for them,” said Karen Kelly, Children’s Museum of Atlanta exhibits director.

“They’ll say, ‘Look, there’s Daniel Tiger’s trolley’ and be able to interact with it, or they’ll be able to pretend to drive around in a car or make a clock.

All that stuff is so important for kids in this age range, so (the exhibit) is a really great opportunity.”

Daniel Tiger, who, before having his own show, was a character on “Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood,” encourages children to identify and express their emotions, which, at its heart, is also what the exhibit is designed to do, Kelly said.

“The (exhibit) is all about socialemotional learning, and though roleplay, children will be able to learn how to express themselves,” she said.

“One of the things Mister Rogers was about was being a good neighbor, so with the exhibit’s outreach activities, children will be able to learn how to do that through thinking about and identifying their emotions.”

Being able to identify emotions is

key, Kelly said.

“It’s so hard for kids of that age because they go through so many emotions but they don’t know what to call them,” Kelly said. “They go through a ton of transitions and it’s frustrating when they can’t express what’s wrong, so to adults, it may look like it’s acting out, when in fact, they want to but can’t quite (vocalize) what’s going on.

“Being able to verbalize that emotion as opposed to just yelling or stamping their feet is so helpful to both parents and the child because the adult then has a better understanding of how to help and the kid also feels better when he or she can verbalize what exactly they’re feeling.”

The exhibit also helps teach children how to properly act on their emotions, which at that age, is also “very important,” Kelly said.

“A lot of research shows that what children learn in the 0 to 6 age range really sticks with them,” she said. “For example, I made sure my children ate healthy when they were little. While now, as teenagers, all they may want are Coca-Cola products, research shows they will likely go back to the (healthy choice) as adults because they were taught healthy eating when they were little.

So learning how to do that (with emotions) is very important.”

With features such as the imagination stage or the thank-you tree — a tree where kids can write or draw a thank-you note and share it — the exhibit caters to just that, Kelly said.

In addition to the exhibit, the children’s museum offers daily programs that will be Daniel Tiger-centric, such as a special mini musical that includes catchy songs that are intended to stick with children even after the show is over, decoration of an imagination mirror in the museum’s art studio and exploration of the habitats of real tigers at the science bar.

FALL EVENTS

From frights to folksongs

Aurora Theatre packs in the programming this fall

BY ISABEL HUGHES

isabel.hughes @gwinnettdailypost.com

There’s always something happening at the Aurora Theatre, and this fall is no different.

“We’ve got a big, big fall this year,” said Aurora Director of Sales and Marketing Al Stilo. “Our ghost tours have sort of exploded, but we’re doing something different this year where we’re working to create a Spanish-language ghost tour, too.”

While the ghost tours are always hits — tours began Friday — they are only one of many programs the Lawrenceville theater is offering.

“We’re partnering for the second year with Georgia Gwinnett College in producing the Festival del Dia de Los Muertos, where we work with their Latino student organization,” Stilo said. “We’ll have dinner food, performers, an alter, and the whole thing will culminate with a showing of Disney’s ‘Coco,’ all of which will be free and open to the community. Another big event is our Sunday Supper, which will be held Sept.

Above left, Jacob McKee, Andrew Puckett, Cynthia Rintye, Luke Georgecink and Alisha Boley are guides for the Aurora Theatre’s Ghost Tours. Above right, Brandon O’Dell and Diany Rodriguez will perform in this year’s Christmas Canteen. (Photos: Chris Bartelski)

30.”

The supper, which Stilo said “incorporates a lot of Gwinnett’s favorite things,” will be held this year at Slow Pour Brewing Company, last year having been held on the roof of Aurora’s parking deck.

The event is just what it sounds like — a community dinner one Sunday night in September, filled with food, drinks and live entertainment.

Last year’s inaugural event began when “Lo-

cal Republic staff came over with a bucket of fried chicken and and sat down with a couple of our staff and said, ‘Look, I have an idea,’” was “phenomenal,” Stilo said, which he again expects.

“There are a lot of underthe-radar things that happen during the fall,” Stilo said.

“Some of those are our (children’s programming); every year, we bus in school groups and we average about 15,000 school groups annually. Our programs

this year are especially important because (Gwinnett County Public Schools) buses are understaffed, so there’s a tight radius where they can take field trips.

With us being centrally located, it provides a great option for a really impactful school field trip.”

For the children, Aurora is again offering its Children’s Playhouse — events targeted especially for families.

Those performances include Folksongs for the Family, “Junie B. Jones Is Not a Crook,” a Halloween magic show, Cirque Noel, Beat Bugs and much more.

Though Aurora is a family-friendly venue, the theater also offers adultonly programming, which includes Aurora’s comedy nights — Stilo said kids shouldn’t come, unless they “like hearing the f-word SEP 18.pdf dropped a KIDSVILLE lot” — Brews and Boos, ghost story and

cocktail nights; “The Two Kids That Blow Sh*t Up,” a comedic play about two children who meet the day their parents start having an affair; and other adultcentered events.

This year, Aurora will again offer Reindeer Games, an off-site opportunity for residents or companies to book a group of performers to come to their homes or businesses and perform.

“One of the things we don’t love as artists is when we’re booked and we become just kind of background music at parties,” Stilo said. “When we (came up) with Reindeer Games, we felt like, ‘There’s got to be a way for us to create something that’s appropriate for parties and business events that’s a combination of music and improvisation but that engages people.’

“Reindeer Games is a 1group 8/10/18 10:27 AM who of performers come in and do an interac-

tive event of music and comedy that includes audience participation. It’s one of those really great, underthe-radar things (Aurora) does.”

Stilo said with all the unique Aurora events happening, the theater’s Signature Series can’t be forgotten.

This year’s plays include “Be Here Now,” “A Doll’s House, Part 2,” “Men with Money” and more.

“The fall and the winter are the busiest for Aurora Theatre,” Stilo said. “The lion’s share of our programming happens from Sept. 1 to Jan 1. We’re just thrilled at the amount of programming and the diversity of programming we have, and it’s just a very uplifting time of year for us as artists and producers.”

FURRY FRIENDS

BY TREVOR MCNABOE trevor.mcnaboe @gwinnettdailypost.com

563616-1

“Sesame Street Live!” is encouraging show participants to find their magic in the upcoming production “Sesame Street Live! Find Your Magic.”

The new production is structured around “Sesame Street” main character Elmo and his desire to learn magic.

According to performer Liz Sanford, Elmo embarks on an extraordinary journey in which he learns that it’s OK to make mistakes and that magic can be found anywhere when you believe in yourself and the power of what’s yet to be.

“The main thing I love about this is the message that sometimes things take hard work, so keep trying,” Sanford said. “We normally associate magic with things that aren’t real, but it’s truly about finding magic in everyday moments.”

Other popular Sesame Street characters Cookie Monster, Gonger, Abby Cadabby and Big Bird are included in the show, each learning themselves about the magic in every day life.

“We’re bringing all furry friends you’ve seen on the show and making it live and in person,” Sanford said.

“It is very musically driven, and songs children know from the television show will also be included.”

Sanford is in her second year with the “Sesame Street Live!” production and plays the character Rosita, who orchestrates a rhythmic beat using everyday objects around her.

Magnifying magic of shadow puppetry, the sci-

‘Sesame Street Live!’ show features popular characters

IF YOU GO What: “Sesame Street Live! Make Your Magic” When: 6 p.m. Nov. 9, 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. Nov. 10, and 2 p.m. Nov. 11 Where: Duluth’s Infinite Energy Arena Tickets: $20 to $50 For more information: www.infiniteenergy center.com

ence and fun of baking, the abilities of caterpillars to transform and color pigments being mixed are all going to be explored during the show.

Sanford said the major takeaway from the tour, beginning Oct. 12 in Tampa, is providing a positive message to children about being smarter and kinder humans.

For herself, the shows in Duluth and Atlanta touch close to home because she lived and worked at Six Flags Over Georgia prior to getting being offered a role in the live production.

“I’m so excited to do both Duluth and Atlanta,” Sanford said. “I can have my family and friends from nearby to come. It’s awesome to bring it to my own community.”

Atlanta shows are Nov. 16-18 at the Cobb Energy Performing Arts Centre.

Additionally, before the shows, guests are able to purchase a pre-show meetand-greet. The meet-andgreet starts 45 minutes to an hour prior to the show and allows guests to interact with Elmo and “Sesame Street” characters as well as get their photo taken.

For more information on purchasing tickets, visit www.infiniteenergycenter. com!

FALL EVENTS

Fernbank’s new exhibit highlights nature’s superheroes

By Trevor McNaboe

The Fernbank Museum of Natural History is highlighting superheroes this fall and winter in its newest exhibit.

Make way Superman, Batman and the assorted cast of Marvel characters for nature’s superheroes.

Officially named “Nature’s Superheroes: Life at the Limits,” the special exhibit begins on Oct. 6 and continues until Jan. 1, highlighting the diversity of life and the extreme adaptations that allow organisms to thrive all over the world.

“We’re featuring a lot of plants, animals and bacteria in this exhibit,” Jessica Nuckolls, museum life science educator, said. “We’re highlighting anything that is spectacular.”

Nuckolls said the name of the exhibit goes along with the rise in popularity of superhero movies, most recently “Avengers: Infinity War” and “Black Panther.”

“This exhibit is a chance for people to look around them and investigate plants and animals that have adaptations,” Nuckolls said.

What: “Nature Superheroes: Life at the Limits” When: Oct. 6 to Jan. 1 Where: Fernbank Natural Museum of History, 767 Clifton Road in Atlanta Cost: Exhibit is free with purchase of museum ticket — $20 for adults, $19 for seniors over age of 65 and $18 for children ages 3-12.

unique animal because they can be in so many different environments — cold, warm, deep in the ocean or in small bodies of water.

They embody the adaptability we’re trying to show in this exhibit.”

Nuckolls said tardigrades, commonly referred to as water bears, are typically only a centimeter in size.

However, the museum will have 10-foot models of them.

The end goal for museum officials is to provide a good experience for guests while allowing them to connect nature with an interest they may have.

“I’m really looking forward to people that might not have experienced something like this to learn more about adaptations and how unique animals and plants are in this world,” Nuckolls said. “Everywhere you look, there’s adaptation, so we hope to open people’s eyes with this exhibit.”

The exhibit will be open from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. each day with tickets ranging from $18 to $20.

Leadercast Women speakers to include Bush twins, Molly Fletcher

A daylong conference emphasizing female leadership and empowerment is boasting a number of big-name speakers this year.

Speakers at the second annual Leadercast Women, which will be held Oct. 12 at the Georgia World Congress Center, include the Bush twins — Barbara Bush and Jenna Bush Hager — Molly Fletcher, Clemantine

IF YOU GO What: Leadercast Women Where: Georgia World Congress Center; 285 Andrew Young International Blvd. N.W., Atlanta When: Oct. 12 Cost: $209 per ticket

Wamariya, Celeste Headlee, Julia Landauer and several others.

The event will focus on what it means to be a leader and how to lead oneself, which is key when it comes

to leading others, said Leadercast President and CEO Angela Raub.

“I feel really proud of our organization because we understand that there’s such a dire need for women to have an event where they can learn from different thought leaders about how to lead and what makes (a leader),” she said. “We have a science to scheduling our speakers and we really do design the day to be inspirational, not just from business perspective but in multiple (areas).”

The conference, Raub said, is organized in such a way as to allow women to network before and after speaker sessions.

The day will begin with networking followed by the first three speakers, then a break, which will be followed by another three speakers.

An elongated lunch, which gives women a networking opportunity and an exhibit area to explore, will be followed by the last three speakers — the Bush twins and

Fletcher.

While Raub said she’s excited about all the speakers, she is most looking forward to the day as a whole and the opportunities she hopes it will open for women.

“I’m most excited about the attendees that will come to the event,” Raub said. “The theme is leading yourself and I’m honored that our attendees trust the content of our day enough to make themselves vulnerable in their leadership journey; that’s really impactful for

me.”

Last year’s inaugural event was “hugely successful” Raub said, which she expects for this year, too.

“What’s unique is this is designed for anyone from a stay-at-home mom to a (CEO),” she said. “We do have (business) leaders speaking, but we also have people who really encourage women in (science, technology, engineering and mathmatics) and other (fields).”
