So what do a voracious baby caterpillar, a cloud that transforms itself and a bored, mixed-up chameleon have in common?
They are three unlikely friends in Eric Carle’s beloved children’s award-winning books about discovering there is value in who you are.
Mermaid Theatre of Nova Scotia has recently adapted these picture books and created The Very Hungry Caterpillar and Other E. Carle Favourites.Two
shows are booked to run Saturday, March 9, at the Arden Theatre.
Mermaid Theatre’s specialty is a signature blend of blacklight theatre, striking puppetry, evocative music and gentle storytelling.
Adapted, designed and directed by Jim Morrow with music by Steven Naylor, the one-hour production is narrated by Gordon Pinsent.
Recommended ages are three to eight years. Showtimes are 11 a.m. and 3 p.m. The 11 a.m. performance is relaxed and sensory friendly. Sensory aids are available.
Tickets are $18 and $15 for children. Call 780-459-1542 or purchase online at www.ticketmaster.ca.
