Zoo Atlanta / Nov. 3, 10 a.m.-3 p.m.
Two childlike hobo-clown characters are waiting near the railroad tracks for “balloon,” but neither of them knows what a balloon is! Through trial and error, and plenty of audience interaction, the two discover the joys of balloons, and also the fun in learning about the world around them. This program, part of the Theatre for the Very Young series, is a playful introduction to gentle clowning and found object puppetry. 1280 Peachtree St., Atlanta. 404-7335000.$10.alliancetheatre.org.
