en-US When best friends Squiggle and Square move away from each other, they must find creative ways to keep communicating! Join us for a delightful adventure that uses clowning, puppetry and music to explore how we stay connected with the ones we love. Pen Pals is a 30-minute interactive play designed for 5 to 10-year-olds.

Pen Pals was written by Claire Derriennic and Meg Lowey in Spain and further developed in partnership with the Jeanette M. Gould Traveling Theater. The current version of the play was created to be performed bedside for hospital patients. Pen Pals debuted in the U.S. with UCF students in the Theatre for Young Audiences and Communities course in Spring 2026.
