Princess Backpack and Benjamin
Princess Backpack and Benjamin brings a joyful and playful music show to Wolf Trap’s Children’s Theatre-in-the-Woods. Created by a Paramount+ and Nick Jr. show writer, the performance follows Princess Backpack and her puppet sidekick Benjamin through the Kingdom of Backpackia, where they create live-looping funk songs and play fiddle folk melodies. The show promises silly, interactive antics such as making a giant soup, popping bubble wrap, and turning your brother into pizza—anything can and will happen. This 10:30 AM performance is part of the Children’s Theatre-in-the-Woods series and is designed for young audiences.
