See Doodle POP at Emery Theater from June 4 through 7.
Looking for something fun to do with the kids this June? Doodle POP is a colorful live family show at the Emery Theater, perfect for young audiences and a wonderful first live theater experience.
Running June 4–7, 2026, for just 8 performances, this playful visual theater experience is ideal for ages 3–8 and a perfect summer family outing in Cincinnati.
A mischievous duo starts doodle… and ends up creating a whole imaginative world! They invite us along on their sea adventure with a tiny little turtle. What will happen as we follow their vivid drawings into this beautiful watery world, and will they return the turtle to the sea safely?
This touching and playful non-verbal show uses live musicians who perform the accompanying score and sound effects, stunning interactive animation projections and live whiteboard drawings, and an abundance of theatrical imagination.
