Changing seasons in Georgia’s lush forests is always a spectacle. In Kennesaw, Smith-Gilbert Gardens invites young audiences to experience the cycles of seasons in nature with the interactive play “Opossum and the Season Stone.”

It’s a performance aimed at ages zero to eight, along with their adult caregivers, and features talented Kennesaw State students and faculty, as well as live musical accompaniment on cello. The performances take place at Kennesaw’s Swift Cantrell Park in the children’s forest area on Nov. 15 and 16, as well as the 22 and 23.

City Lights” producer Summer Evans recently sat down with Smith-Gilbert Gardens Education and Exhibits manager Vanita Keswani along with “Opossum and the Season Stone” lead instructor and playwright Nicole Adkins to discuss the Garden grounds and its new interactive play!
