BIG FEELINGS

Created in partnership with children's therapist Christie Stiff, the Big Feelings experience

aims to create an intergenerational bridge and empower children with the long- term tools

they need to spark necessary dialogues about well-being, mental health, and feelings.

Alma is a little girl who had to leave the island where she was raised, listening to

ancient myths and the sound of the ocean. Now living in the big city where she can’t

see the stars, Alma struggles to cope and feels overwhelmed by “her bad feelings.”

One day, a scientist Muppet named Smoll shows up in the broken television in the

attic. He has a message: He is an expert on feelings and wants to study Alma’s

because grown-ups don’t know much about kids’ feelings. In exchange, he will take

her out of the Big City and show her the universe.

Produced by Little Clouds, Big Feelings was a recipient of the NYFA Queens Arts Fund

for “New Work” and had a sold out run at the Culture Lab in 2024. The show was featured

on the NY DAILY NEWS as one of the best 7 things to do in New York.
