Now, everyone’s favorite caterpillar takes the outdoor stage in a dazzling, critically acclaimed English-Spanish bilingual production –featuring a menagerie of more than 75 larger-than-life, magical puppets. “The Very Hungry Caterpillar” is joined by friends from three other iconic Eric Carle picture books: “Brown Bear, Brown Bear,” “10 Little Rubber Ducks,” and “The Very Lonely Firefly.” Revisit these timeless classics with the young people in your life in an outdoor, socially distant setting, keeping you and your family safe while diving into a music-filled, big, bright, colorful world filled with transformation and discovery.
