The UCF New Music Ensemble invites you to experience a bedtime story the way you never have before!

Her parents are having a party, but Harper needs a story before she can go to sleep. Over the course of this evening, several partygoers will take a turn adding to the tale. Unfortunately, none of them can agree on how the story should go! The result is a hilarious and charming musical journey through the imagination.

Recommended for children ages 5-12 and adults – pajamas welcome!
