Program: Fraggle Rock Live by Jim Henson.
Jim Henson's Fraggle Rock Live brings the beloved underground world of the Fraggles to theatrical life, transforming the iconic 1980s television series into an immersive stage experience. Created by Jim Henson, Fraggle Rock originally captivated audiences with its whimsical creatures living in interconnected caves, teaching lessons about friendship, cooperation, and environmental stewardship. The show's innovative puppetry and memorable characters like Gobo, Red, Wembley, Mokey, and Boober became cultural touchstones for a generation, while its deeper themes about understanding different communities resonated across age groups.
This live adaptation promises the colorful, music-filled adventure that made the original series special, featuring elaborate puppetry, vibrant costumes, and the catchy songs that defined the Fraggle universe. Families can expect an engaging theatrical experience that balances nostalgia for parents with fresh discovery for children. The production maintains the gentle humor and positive messaging of Henson's original vision while adapting the format for live performance. Both longtime fans and newcomers will find themselves drawn into the Fraggles' world of exploration and friendship.

Located in Washington, DC's prestigious performing arts complex, the Terrace Theater has hosted countless memorable family productions and offers excellent sightlines from every seat.
