Maddi’s Fridge at The Bushnell

Based on the beloved children’s book by Lois Brandt, Maddi’s Fridge brings an important message about friendship, empathy, and food insecurity to the stage in a heartfelt and humorous performance. The story follows two young friends, Sofia and Maddi, as Sofia discovers that Maddi’s family’s fridge is empty and learns valuable lessons about kindness, compassion, and helping others.

This engaging performance, part of the 2025–2026 Bushnell Children’s Theatre Series, encourages meaningful conversations about caring for one another and understanding the world around us.

Performances will take place on Monday, November 10, 2025, at 10:00 am and 12:00 pm. Each show runs approximately 55 minutes with no intermission, followed by a 10-minute Q&A session.

The Bushnell is located at 166 Capitol Avenue, Hartford, Connecticut.
