Welcome to the one and only Purim House! A magical place where, every year, the forest animals come together to blow up colorful balloons, sew dazzling costumes, bake Ozney Haman, and decorate this very special place. But this year, something mysterious has happened — the delicious Purim feast has disappeared!
As Savannah and her friend Bobby the Clown set off to solve the mystery, the audience is invited to help through songs, dancing, and plenty of laughter. Along the way, they meet forest animals, search for clues, and are constantly reminded to watch out for Haman!
Together, we celebrate Purim traditions and discover the joy of teamwork in this lively, interactive adventure.
