What If Wilhelmina offers an unforgettable experience, combining the magic of storytelling with the power of diversity and ability!
Adapted from the award-winning children’s book by Joseph Belisle, this true story features the character of Faith, a nine-year-old girl who is full of dread and “what ifs” when her cat, Wilhelmina, goes missing. Faith learns about the futility of worry and develops coping skills through music, movement, and the assistance of some friendly puppets. What If Wilhelmina is an innovative, multi-sensory, and interactive performance for audiences that are neurodiverse and neurotypical.
“While this show is appropriate for all audiences, it was created from the ground up for audiences that are neurodiverse. I believe there is a big difference between ‘you are welcome here’ and ‘this was created specifically for you.’” - Dionne O’Dell, Director
Face painting, coloring, and a mini art gallery will be available in the lobby 45 minutes prior each performance. After the show audiences can meet and take photos with the What If Wilhelmina puppets!
