Mermaid Theatre of Nova Scotia: "A Brown Bear, a Moon and a Caterpillar: Treasured Stories by Eric Carle" April 21, 2013

Performed by the touring company of Mermaid Theatre of Nova Scotia, this much-anticipated new production brings together old favorites and new friends. Featuring evocative music, stunning visual effects and innovative puppetry, the triple-bill celebrates three of Eric Carle's most beloved tales.

Audiences familiar with Mermaid's earlier adaptation of Eric Carle's books can expect the same attention to detail that has won international acclaim for the company. The use of 'black light' for some aspects of the show will enable puppets and props to make their appearances as if they are animated on their own. The final story in the trilogy will incorporate the magic of both projection techniques and shadow puppetry.
