We’ve always loved Zed’s but now it’s even better! Two new food trucks and a fully fenced turfed play area for kids! Plus more shaded seating! 🙌
Honestly, I can’t think of anything better than tacos, burgers, ice cream, and a place for the kids to run around. 😋

👀 Show Info:
This story was going to begin like all the best stories. With a school bus falling from the sky. But no one saw it happen—they were all too busy. New York Times best-selling author, Jason Reynolds conjures 10 tales (1 per block) about what happens after the dismissal bell rings. 10 blocks. 10 unique tales. There’s something for everyone across these 10 vignettes about identity, compassion, fear, and friendship—as told through puppetry, dance, music, projections, audience participation, kamishibai (paper theater), and more. This faithful stage adaptation of Reynolds’ award-winning book (Carnegie Medal, Coretta Scott King Author Honor Book, National Book Award for Young People’s Literature finalist, and more) encourages audiences to look both ways not only when crossing the street, but also when acknowledging the people walking by.
👦Best for ages 10+.
