About Betty the Bat's Singalong Adventure & Critter City

Betty the Bat's Singalong Adventure is an interactive musical experience designed for young audiences and their families. Created and performed by the Cover to Cover Quintet, this lively concert invites children to join the fun from the very first note.

In the first half, kids and grown-ups alike sing along with new and classic songs inspired by Western folk tunes. The journey continues with Critter City, a whimsical choose-your-own-adventure shaped by audience participation. This one-of-a-kind production follows Betty the Bat and her animal friends through an original tale combining narration, live music, and visual art to celebrate local wildlife.

Kids can help guide the story, get movin', and discover classical music favorites reimagined for young ears. Perfect for curious minds, Betty the Bat's Singalong Adventure fosters creativity, listening skills, and a love of live performance.

Free snacks, cookies, and activities begin before the show. No tickets to buy, no dress code, and no shushing.
