When I Grow Up is a new concept show that focuses on the exploration of childhood dreams.

Did you want to be a doctor? A florist?
Maybe a professional jumper, who jumps up and down really skillfully. Maybe you wanted to be a horse!

You are invited to write down and share what you wanted to be when you grew up. Whatever it is, whatever the dream, award-winning clown and expert in play, Jeromala Detto, will bring it to life with a chest full of costumes and a heart full of imagination!
