Big Feelings

Travel the universe and learn about emotions in an interactive play with puppets.Created in partnership with children’s therapist Christie Stiff, the Big Feelings experience aims to create an intergenerational bridge and empower children with the long-term tools they need to spark necessary dialogues about well-being, mental health, and feelings. Alma is a little girl who had to leave the island where she was raised, listening to ancient myths and the sound of the ocean. Now living in the big city where she can’t see the stars, Alma struggles to cope and feels overwhelmed by “her bad feelings.” One day, a scientist Muppet named Smoll shows up in the broken television in the attic. He has a message: He is an expert on feelings and wants to study Alma’s because grown-ups don’t know much about kids’ feelings. In exchange, he will take her out of the Big City and show her the universe.
