“Such a magical, immersive experience! The kids had an absolute blast and raved about it all weekend! A truly special experience for kids and grown-ups alike.”
Playing now until November 27th
This new indoor immersive puppet show brings children into a living fairy tale in downtown Mill Valley.
Something has gone quiet in the Singing Garden — the flowers have stopped singing and nobody knows why.
Join Lexi, the storybook fairy, as she invites a small group of young adventurers to her home, The Story Stump to discover what's wrong with the Singing Garden and bring the music back.
As the story unfolds, the young adventurers discover clues, make music, and meet her friends Gus the Gigglepillar and Lulu Bird as they restore the song to the Singing Garden.
77 Throckmorton Ave in Mill Valley
Running Time - 50 minutes
Great for ages 3 - 9 and their caregivers

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Story Stump?
The Story Stump is a small-group, indoor puppet adventure. Instead of watching from seats, children step into the story: they explore, follow clues, make music and help Lexi and her friends solve a problem together. Each show is about 50 minutes.
What ages is it for?
It’s designed for children ages 3 to 9. Children 2 and under are free
Do grown-ups come too?
Yes. Every child comes with a caregiver, and grown-ups join the adventure alongside them. Every guest needs a ticket, adults included.
How big is each group?
Groups are small, about 25 people at most, so every child gets a chance to take part.
What if my child is shy or gets nervous?
Nobody is ever put on the spot. Children can participate as much or as little as they like, and they can stay close to their grown-up the whole time. The puppets are friendly, and the story has a happy ending.
