Mouse on the Move

  • The Children's Museum & Theatre of Maine 250 Thompson's Point Road Portland, ME 04102 (map)

Is the moon made of cheese? Two curious and hungry mice will attempt to find out in this magical and whimsical story. Help the mousey pair make new friends and explore the world outside their mouse hole. With many chances for interaction, audience members are invited to become a blade of grass in a garden, find a ladybug's hiding brood, and warm a starfish's frozen babies. Young audiences can use their imaginations to travel by boat, car, and plane with the mice, proving that it takes teamwork to make the dream work! This show is ideal for children ages 0-5 and their families.

Tickets are $15 per person for adults and children. Each child ticket includes an interactive storytelling suitcase for young audiences to use during the play and take home.

The actors featured in Mouse on the Move are fully vaccinated and will be performing the show without a face covering. The actors will maintain a 3 foot distance from the first row of audience seating. All crew, technicians and ushers will wear masks.

Audience members age 5+ must wear a mask or appropriate facial covering during the performance. Masks are recommended but not required for ages 2-4.
