About Episode 3:

In this heartwarming final installment, the trio celebrates the power of friendship as their magical companion takes flight, spreading wonder and joy. It’s a culmination of the adventures from Episodes 1 and 2 — where helping animals and welcoming new friends led to unexpected discoveries and unforgettable moments.

Each performer brings a unique presence to the stage:

Love Rising is more than a story hour — it’s a theatrical celebration of inclusive, healthy self-expression and community connection. Sensory toys will be available to support all participants, and the event remains completely free and open to the public.

This is your last chance to experience the magic in person — RSVP today.
