The Very Hungry Caterpillar & Other Eric Carle Favorites

Three beloved stories by Eric Carle, award-winning children’s book illustrator and author, are retold on stage through the magic of black light and fanciful puppets. The Very Hungry Caterpillar follows the wonderful adventures of a very tiny and very hungry caterpillar as he eats his way through an amazing variety of foods on his path to becoming a beautiful butterfly.  High up in the sky, Little Cloud playfully transforms himself into various creatures, including a sheep, and an airplane, a shark and more. The Mixed-Up Chameleon is bored with his life, but following an adventurous trip to the zoo he realizes that there is value in his own unique self.

Adapted, designed, and directed by Jim Morrow, with music by Steven Naylor and narration by Gordon Pinsent, the production features the imaginative approach to storytelling through theatre that has earned international recognition for Mermaid Theatre of Nova Scotia.

Approximately 60 minutes, recommended for ages 2 and up.
