Kids in the Rotunda, Madison’s family-friendly, FREE Saturday arts performance series, will continue a season of performances on Overture Center’s Rotunda stage in December with two shows by popular returning artists. As the cold winter weather sets in, these family-friendly performances are the perfect way to keep kids active and having fun on Saturday mornings and early afternoons.
Overture Center’s Kids in the Rotunda series is designed to captivate families of all ages. From renowned folk singers to drum lines and hilarious kid-friendly improv to vibrant Indian dance, our handpicked lineup guarantees an unforgettable experience for your family. While tailored for children ages nine and younger, these performances will mesmerize both kids and adults alike.
The Rotunda Café will be open during shows to offer coffee, juice and snacks for sale with part of the proceeds benefiting Overture Center.
