HALLOWEEN TEEN NIGHT at the Whitney Museum of American Art (Oct. 25, 5-7:30 p.m.) and HALLOWEEN BLOOD FEST 2019 at the Queens Public Library at Flushing (Oct. 26, noon-4 p.m.). What do you do for Halloween if you’re too old for trick-or-treating and too young for an adult costume party? At the Whitney’s Halloween Teen Night, young visitors can take inspiration from the new exhibition “Rachel Harrison Life Hack” to make sculptural costumes from fabric, trinkets and recycled materials and then model them on a catwalk. The fun also includes tarot readings, a scavenger hunt, face painting, a photo booth and dancing to tunes mixed by D.J. Ino. The free Halloween Blood Fest, produced by the Flushing library and Blood Moon Rising Magazine, will cheer revelers 13 and older with a spook house, a light show and live music from the rock duo Decembers Fall. The theatrically inclined can look forward to a staging of the Frankenstein monster’s resurrection and not just a costume contest but a scream contest, too. (Rest your voices in advance.)

KIDS ’N COMEDY: ‘THE SCARY PRE-HALLOWEEN SHOW’ at Gotham Comedy Club (Oct. 27, 1 p.m.). Adolescence itself is terrifying, and these comics ought to know: They’re currently experiencing it. All tweens and teenagers, the Kids ’n Comedy performers, who are the most promising students in a program of study with adult stand-ups, offer original routines that have the bite of professional material but none of the crudeness or profanity. Geared toward audiences 9 and older, the show will deal with what these young people find really frightening, like parents who know their way around social media and can successfully navigate Snapchat.

‘NEST’ at the Clark Studio Theater (through Oct. 27, 10:30 a.m. and 12:30 p.m.). You’re never too young to go to the theater — at least not a special kind of theater. That’s what Anna Beecher and Rachel Lincoln have created in “Nest,” a production for babies who have not yet learned to walk. Receiving its American premiere at LC Kids, Lincoln Center’s series for children, the 35-minute show (there is also a 15-minute preperformance “exploration”) invites infants and accompanying adults into a custom-made tent filled with gentle sensory stimuli — and a giant glowing egg. Beecher and Lincoln, the principals of the British company Akin Theater, use a mirror, soft puppets, simple poetry, a rhythmic soundscape, intriguing textures and scents like orange oil and geranium to evoke a passage through the four seasons. (Sunday’s performance at 10:30 a.m. is sold out, but tickets are available for the other dates and times.)

‘PETER PAN’ at the Leon M. Goldstein Performing Arts Center, Kingsborough Community College (Oct. 27, 2 p.m.). Don’t expect a typical rendition of the J. M. Barrie classic. TheaterWorksUSA has adapted this hourlong staging from the groundbreaking version John Caird and Trevor Nunn created for the Royal Shakespeare Company in 1982. A show within a show, this “Peter Pan” features six actors portraying children — including the Darling brood — who invent and act out the story during playtime in Edwardian England. To be presented first in Brooklyn, and then in Manhattan at the Tribeca Perfoming Arts Center in December, the production unfolds as the young people build Neverland from household objects, so that an ironing board becomes a ship’s plank, and a pair of old snowshoes transform into the voracious jaws of Captain Hook’s nemesis, the crocodile.
