Review for Shenandoah Valley Discovery Museum, Inc., Winchester, VA, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

The Discovery Museum offers many art and theater experiences throughout the year. On the second weekend of every month they host a Visiting Artist series that engages all ages. The programs vary from poetry to water colors. It is always a unique experience to be able to learn from professional artists in our community. Discovery Story Theater is also a favorite of mine, that is offered on the third Saturday of each month. My husband and I brought my niece to the "Reckless Red and the Little Wolf" play that was a spin off of "The Little Red Riding Hood." The spin was to put the focus on the little gray wolf so that the audience would learn aren't scary creatures that eat people, but have a place in our complex environment. The plays are hilarious, educational, and our niece loved being able to go on stage to help with the play. The Discovery Museum is always offering something new and different for the families in our community. They are a leader in hands-on education, and offer endless hours of play for children of all ages.

If this organization had 10 million bucks, it could...

produce more art programming on a regular basis for the community and surrounding areas.
