The Harmonica Pocket

Saturday, August 2 at 2 p.m. 

When Harmonica Pocket takes the stage, audiences don't just sit back to be entertained. Their shows deliver highly-interactive experiences that get children (and their grownups) singing and moving in their seats. With swinging story-songs, hula hoops, and a suitcase of props, the group mixes up music, movement, and imagination play into a gigglish jambalaya.

Audiences are invited to become a tree on a windy day, flex creative writing skills by dreaming up lyrics to songs, and make hilarious sounds as they toss around an imaginary "Ball of Nothing." The acoustic show is sprinkled with wah-wah guitar, ukulele, jaw harp, washboard percussion, harmonicas, and an invented instrument called a "Hinklehorn" - part kazoo, part plumbing fixtures.

Zany skits, hula hoop, and spinning flags, wrap every Harmonica Pocket show up with a thoughtful, playful bow.

The Harmonica Pocket is best suited for ages 2-8.

This show continues the Adventist Health Little Watt's Children's Series of Family Entertainment at the Gesa Power House Theatre. The next show will be "Bilbo's Journey" on December 4.
