Big Feelings (2026) Immersive Event - Main Image

It's Ms. Joy's last day teaching you in 1st Grade and she wants to tell you about something that hurt her feelings. How do we spell feelings? When should we ask for forgiveness? Could you come up and draw it on the board? Don't worry, I know it can be tricky—but you'll figure it all out soon enough. Kids always do. Set inside a classroom, Big Feelings places audiences directly in the room with Ms. Joy for an intimate, audience-integrated experience.
