Fiddleheart Academy of Witchcraft & Wizardry NEEDS YOUR HELP! With doors closed and no students learning magic, the grounds of Fiddleheart are experiencing a magic shortage!

On-Demand Now: Sleep Squad! A family-friendly, interactive virtual theater experience

On-demand starting Tue, Mar 9

SLEEP SQUAD is a family-friendly, interactive, virtual theater experience that turns your home into a rocket ship to launch kids into their dreams. Featuring brand new, unique, kid-driven comedy and music, this world premiere on-demand production creates a new kind of post-dinner, pre-bedtime ritual for kids age 4-12. SLEEP SQUAD can be enjoyed in one 45-minute experience, or in three unique episodes, ranging between 12 and 25 minutes in length.

On-Demand Family Passes can include a “Dreamtime Travel Kit” delivered to your home address. The items within—including a dream journal, explorer goggle sleep mask, co-pilot badge and star projector—are woven into the experience to create imaginative, educational and intergalactic experiences without leaving Planet Earth.

SLEEP SQUAD stars Tony Award Nominee Lilli Cooper (SpongeBob SquarePants, Tootsie) as the Dream Queen, pilot of the spaceship Ariem that launches kids into the Slumber Galaxy on three different missions, as they train to become members of the Sleep Squad—an elite group of the world’s most advanced dreamers. Sleep Squad hopefuls are sent into space to explore stories adapted from real kids’ dreams along with the co-pilot of their choice (their favorite stuffed animal, blanket or toy).

SLEEP SQUAD is produced by Tony Award-winning Eva Price, directed by Olivier-nominated Jennifer Weber and Drama Desk-nominated Lee Overtree, and co-created with the “masterfully hilarious” Story Pirates, “some of the best creators and performers in kids’ media today” (Sirius XM), and creators of the  #1 podcast for kids, downloaded more than 25 million times and winner of both the 2020 Webby and iHeartRadio award for Best Kids and Family podcast. And it’s more than an on-demand evening of entertainment; it’s a one-of-a-kind experience that leaps off the screen to create performance-like, immersive family fun right at home.
