The Whyrates

Multipurpose Room - Tickets Required

Come join the Whyrates on a voyage to discover the wonders of science!

The Whyrates - pirate musician "Sage O'Silver"  and science teacher "Juarez M'Gold", use fiddle, comedy, puppetry, and experiments to get children singing and dancing like pirates while learning along the way. In this 45-minute interactive show, they’ll use art and science to find treasure in the world around them.  

This program will take place in the Wheaton Library Multipurpose Room.  Tickets will be handed out, first-come first-served, at the information desk 15 minutes prior to the program.  Space is extremely limited.
