NEAR & FAR
At Here & There, we believe in nurturing the wonder and curiosity that naturally lives in every child. Through storytelling, we aim to inspire young minds, strengthen families, and connect communities. Stories have the power to transport us, build empathy, and bridge time and place. Our pilot productions will spotlight the rich history and vibrant culture of Spokane, Washington.
