How do I reserve a place?

Email buero@theater-purpur.ch or call the ticket line on 044 201 31 29. With only 30 places, reserve before you go.

Does my child need to speak German?

No. The story is told with few words and lots of gesture, and the play afterward works in any language.

Should I bring money?

Entry and the snack are free. A hat is out for donations if you'd like to give something.

About

Theater PurPur's Story Room is a small, welcoming afternoon about arriving in a new city. Storytellers tell The Suitcase, Chris Naylor-Ballesteros's picture book, with few words and lots of gesture, then everyone plays the story onward together. It's told in Swiss German or German alongside a second language, so it suits toddlers new to Zurich and families who speak more than one language at home.
