When:
“Jamming on the Job,” the hit podcast from PBS Kids, turns into an interactive live show! Christina, Andrés, and Pierce Freelon (BoomBox) love traveling but – yikes! They hit a few roadblocks along the way. Young audiences get to learn about all sorts of helpers with cool careers, armed with the skills to solve problems and save the day. With fun visuals and catchy, original songs, this performance explores the world of work. Young audiences and families will jam while they learn about jobs and mindsets that can help us be successful, no matter what we do. Picture yourself in the future with jobs like Fire Manager, Wind Turbine Service Technician, Airport Operations Manager, and more!
