As Finn embarks on a journey of self-discovery, friendship, and adventure, he finds the courage to be himself! Fun for all ages!PB&J Cafe: A Dinner Theater for Kids! At the PB&J Cafe, young theatergoers will enjoy a meal during the performance and leave with autographs from their favorite characters.
