11:30am–12pm & 12:30–1pm
Music Performance
__Especially for ages 6_–_12
__Superhero Clubhouse presents two performances. _The
FairWeathers_ is a comedic trunk show about a curmudgeonly clown who
just can't make peace with the changing environment. Like a cartoon,
the show is a series of short episodes in which Mr. or
Mrs. FairWeather, just trying to go about their lives, are confronted
with the environmental consequences of their behavior, to great
comedic effect.
_Mr. FairWeather Gets Thirsty_ is inspired by our interconnected
waste and water system. Distrusting of the tap and frustrated by
recycling bins, Mr. FairWeather's bottled water deliveries result in
a mountain of trash and plastic in his fish.
In _Mr. FairWeather's Garden, _our clown's attempt to avoid the
grocery store and grow his own food turns into hilarious chaos as
extreme weather reeks havoc.
10am–1pm
ArchForKids Art Making
_Art making is appropriate for families of all ages and abilities.
Children with special needs are encouraged to come make art with us.

It is the year 2038, twenty years in the future — what does NYC look
like? Create a wildly imaginative futuristic city collaboratively with

future look like?
