Every Saturday beginning Nov. 26 through Christmas, Black Box will run programs at the theater for children aged 5 and up so that their parents can spend the day in Shepherdstown, dining, shopping, etc. Between the hours of 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. there will be storytelling, crafts and theater games. Children can visit each room or spend all their time in one place, according to what they find most enjoyable.

Adult staff and older teens will be running the program. Prices are $10/hour for the first enrolled child, and $5/hour for siblings. This includes free snacks and bottled water. We also offer (from The Devonshire) free boxed lunch for kids staying 3 hours or more, and $6 lunches for shorter time stays. Parents can register online at blackboxartscenter.org, by emailing theblackboxartscenter@gmail.com, or by calling 304-870-4685.
