Some children’s stories are so good that they deserve to be presented in three languages.
Flushing Town Hall hosts Waves, All That Glows Sees three times this weekend.
Théâtre des Confettis, which was founded in Québec City in 1977, presents this immersive sea story that mixes images, live music, words, poetry, and silence.
To begin, families follow a little pathway of shells and stones into a big tent as they listen to the sound of someone playing the harmonica. Once inside, they encounter a tall man who is dreaming of the sea. While playing gentle music, he makes sand, turtles, seagulls, and fish appear, followed by dune grass, the sky, and boats.

General admission is $15, but seniors and students pay $12 and children enter for $8. The English show is on May 25 at 1 pm with Español on May 25 at 3 pm and Mandarin/English on May 26 at 2:15 pm.
“When we first saw Waves by Théâtre des Confettis all the adults and children were mesmerized by the beautiful atmosphere,” stated Flushing Town Hall’s Executive and Artistic Director Ellen Kodadek. “I can’t wait to see how our audiences will react to this charming performance at an imagined beach, filled with music, poetry, and silence.”
Waves, All That Glows Sees is suitable for children ages 18 months to four years. Each show runs about 45 minutes.
Flushing Town Hall is located at 137-35 Northern Blvd.
