Swimmy, Frederick, & Inch by Inch

Mermaid Theatre of Nova Scotia returns with their popular production drawn from Leo Lionni’s exquisitely crafted Caldecott Honor books, Swimmy, Inch by Inch and Frederick. All of these stories provide wonderful scope for translation to puppet theatre through the gentle storytelling style which has earned international acclaim for Mermaid Theatre.  The show features an assortment of innovative puppetry styles and imaginative lighting techniques as well as a beautiful original score.

The kindergartners patiently wait to go in the theater...

Please turn off your cellular phones as the show is about to start. :)

Great show! 

At the end of it, they also shared with us the different puppetry techniques they used throughout the show.  That was pretty cool!

Now, we're ready to go back to school!

Room on the Broom

Based on the popular book by Julia Donaldson, Room on the Broom tells the story of a witch and her cat flying happily on their broomstick until a stormy wind blows away the witch’s hat, bow and wand.  A helpful dog, bird and frog find the witch’s lost things, and they all hop on the broom for a ride.  But – CRACK! SNAP! - this broomstick’s not meant for five. Will there ever be room on the broom for everyone?

We are so excited to watch this play at the

Segerstrom Center for the Arts!
