Our 2026 program is No Signal On The Mountain, written by Chelsea Wilson Thayer! This FREE show will be offered at multiple venues and dates throughout the summer! Kids will make a FREE craft, and receive a FREE book at the end of the show!
During this show, when a screen-obsessed family visits the Blue Ridge Mountains, they’re too busy chasing Wi-Fi and selfies to notice the beauty around them. But when a mysterious park ranger sends them back to the 1800s—without phones or technology—they must learn how to slow down and truly see the world. Filled with humor, heart, and audience participation, No Signal on the Mountain reminds us that real connection begins when we look up.
