Magik Theatre joins the Reading Rug session four days before its production of How the Grinch Stole Christmas opens. Hemisfair’s listing does not name the featured book or activity.
All times are local to the venue · America/Chicago
Hemisfair’s Story Time pairs its Book of the Week with a STEAM-inspired activity, and Magik Theatre is joining the Nov. 17 session ahead of the company’s Grinch opening. The gathering runs from 10 to 11 a.m. at Yanaguana Garden.
The listing promises a Book of the Week and a STEAM-inspired activity during the same hour, but gives no separate times or order for the two. It also leaves the book title, activity and materials unspecified, so families can plan for a reading-and-activity session but not for a particular story or project.

Magik Theatre is joining the gathering in connection with its Nov. 21 opening of How the Grinch Stole Christmas. The listing does not say that the story will be Grinch-themed, identify a reader or promise a preview of the production; the theater’s appearance is the confirmed connection.

Hemisfair’s November calendar separately lists Story Time sessions with SAAACAM on Nov. 3, WeFlamenco Fest on Nov. 10 and the San Antonio Public Library on Nov. 24. Those are other dates, not additional participants in the Nov. 17 session.

Parking & Directions – Hemisfair ↗ · Accessibility – Hemisfair ↗
Hemisfair describes Yanaguana Garden as designed for wheelchair navigation, with a ramped entrance, soft surfaces, an accessible water fountain and adaptable play elements. The garage has accessible parking on every floor near elevators. Listed drop-off points are at the garden’s north end, behind Magik Theatre, and south end, between the garage and CommonWealth Coffee & Bakery. The event listing gives no Reading Rug-specific access instructions.
Hemisfair says its public restrooms are ADA-compliant and wheelchair accessible. A separate accommodation restroom, with an adult-sized changing table for people weighing 60–350 pounds, is inside the Hemisfair business office at 630 E. Nueva and is accessed through a park-facing external door. It is open 10 a.m.–6 p.m. Friday through Sunday, so it will not be open on this Tuesday.
Yanaguana Garden has bike racks. Bicycles, e-bikes, scooters and skateboards are not permitted on sidewalks inside the parks.

Hemisfair connects Magik Theatre’s visit to the Nov. 21 opening of How the Grinch Stole Christmas, but it does not identify the story or announce a production preview.
The event listing gives no ticket or registration instructions, so it does not establish whether advance booking is required.
