Dora The Explorer
Plaza Theatrical Productions brings that perky young adventurer back to the stage in “Dora’s Pirate Adventure!” Dora, her best buddy, Boots the Monkey, and the rest of their friends embark on an exciting trip to Treasure Island. The audience helps them navigate over Dancing Mountain, through the Silly Singing Bridge and to confront the Pirate Piggies. All ends happily onstage with a “yo-ho-ho!”
Friday and Saturday, March 29-30, 11 a.m. $10. The Show Place, 222 Pettit Ave., Bellmore. (516) 599-6870 or www.plazatheatrical.com.

Hatched

Treehouse Shakers, an innovative performance group brings “Hatched” to the Long Island Children’s Museum stage. Written and directed by Mara McEwin, this original performance tells the tale of a newborn chick emerging from her shell at sunrise to a strange and busy world. Performed through movement, handcrafted puppets, and very little dialogue, the story is set amidst an American family farm.
Friday, March 29, 11:30 a.m. Suitable for ages 1 and up. $4 with museum admission ($3 members), $10 theater only. Long Island Children’s Museum, Museum Row, Garden City. (516) 224-5800 or www.licm.org.
