Do you remember the first time you saw snow?
Families are invited to share in this magical feeling during the special drive-thru event “The Glowy Snowy Day,” The Rep’s enchanting adaptation of Ezra Jack Keats’ award-winning children’s book, The Snowy Day.
In partnership with StoneLion Puppet Theatre, The Rep is bringing a spectacle of illuminated, colossal puppets and glow artists to the campus of Webster University for a socially distanced, safe, family-friendly adventure through the snow from December 31–January 2.
"The Glowy Snowy Day” includes 14 scenes reimagining beloved illustrations from the iconic book. Twenty-two performers manipulate hand-crafted puppets, including a 14-foot-tall dancing and glowing snowman and a 13-foot-tall frolicking tree. Visitors can even enjoy a glowing snowball fight.
Signs will direct vehicles to the event entrance and explain how visitors can pull up “The Glowy Snowy Day” narration podcast on their smartphone or other device.
Caldecott Medal–winning picture book The Snowy Day by Ezra Jack Keats depicts a little boy pulling on his red snowsuit and exploring his neighborhood: building a snowman, tumbling down snowy mountains, and making snow angels. First published in 1962, this now-classic book broke the color barrier in mainstream children’s publishing and has delighted generations of readers.
Visit the fantastical winter world of “The Glowy Snowy Day” on Jan 1 from 6:30–8:30 p.m. and January 2 and 3 from 5:30–8:30 p.m. The event is free, and no pre-registration is required. This magical snowfall is located off Plymouth Avenue, between Lockwood Avenue and Big Bend Boulevard, behind Webster University’s Webster Hall (470 E. Lockwood).
