Wandering with Wonder – FREE Kids’ Tickets
Jack Singer Concert Hall
Wandering with Wonder, written and created by Samantha Whelan Kotkas with original compositions by Chris Andrew, Jordan Andrew, Matt Epp, Sherryl Sewepagaham, and Walter MacDonald White Bear, tells the tale of a girl, Wonder, who loses her song and looks to her friends Turtle, Bear, Beaver, and Eagle to help her find it.
