Places I Go from My Bed is an original devised work created by Katherine McGerr and Erica Murphy of Syracuse University for young audiences with specific mobility or sensory needs. Ordinary objects from a child's hospital room become the starting point for fantastical adventures, combining performance with optional hands-on interaction. The show runs 40 minutes and is suitable for all ages, empowering everyone to embark on their own imaginative journeys. At the end, children are invited to make and operate their own shadow puppets.
Why see this show?
A tender, inclusive show that meets children where they are — whether in a hospital bed or a theatre seat. The optional shadow puppet-making at the close makes it a genuinely participatory experience rather than a passive one.
