Join Thrown Stone Theatre Company for PROLOGUE, a gathering to mark the company’s arrival in South Norwalk, on Thursday, April 24, at HMTX Global Headquarters (27 Seir Hill Rd.). This will be an evening of cocktails, conversation, and one colossal announcement. It begins with a toast and light refreshments at 6:00 p.m. At 7:00 p.m., there will be a panel discussion — New Stories for a Changing World — that will explore the role of art in uncertain times. Panelists include Jai Chakrabarti, author of A Play for the End of the World; James Dean Palmer and Jonathan Winn, director and playwright of Fools’ Paradise; and poet and professor Laurel S. Peterson, who will facilitate the conversation. Afterward, surprise guests will share a transformative vision of what’s next for Thrown Stone — and invite you to play a role in it.

The Bear and The Squirrel in 4D. Now playing at The Maritime Aquarium at Norwalk (10 N. Water St., with easy parking in the Maritime Garage). From the makers of Shaun the Sheep and Chicken Run, this 15-minute film brings viewers face to face with lions, monkeys, pandas, and sea lions after a magical storm transports a bear who refuses to share and squirrel looking for shelter to new habitats. As the two work together to escape danger, the bear starts to gain a different perspective on the world and learns the error of his ways. Tickets can be purchased with or without Aquarium admission. In addition, guests can swim alongside a sea turtle as she grows and navigates life at sea in “Turtle Odyssey 4D.” For more info, visit www.maritimeaquarium.org Photo credit: © Efteling B.
