On Friday, May 28, Child Life Services at All Children's Hospital hosted a performance of "Stone Soup" by the Eckerd Theater Company of Clearwater at the Children's Auditorium on the second floor of the new hospital.
The event was organized by Child Life Specialist Courtney Hubbard and Sharon Reid-Kane, Assistant Director of Education at the Hoffman Performing Arts Institute at Ruth Eckerd Hall.
The kids took pictures with the cast after the play, and a few brave fans got to play with Scorch the Dragon, a colorful puppet that performed to the delight of the young audience.
"What an unforgettable experience for all involved," remarked Reid-Kane.
