The Very Hungry Caterpillar & Other Eric Carle Favorites

The Very Hungry Caterpillar & Other Eric Carle Favorites is presented as part of the Rainbow Babies & Children’s Hospital Discovery Theatre Series at Playhouse Square. Eric Carle’s stories are told with dramatic black light puppetry that enables his colorful and innovative art to spring to life right from the pages of his award-winning books. The impressive puppetry technique is guaranteed to elicit plenty of "ooh’s and ahh’s" and is proven to be an experience that is never forgotten by its audience, regardless of age.

Each show includes the tales of The Very Hungry Caterpillar, Little Cloud, and Mixed-Up Chameleon. Children enjoy watching the Very Hungry Caterpillar as he munches his way through a variety of foods before turning into a beautiful butterfly. Little Cloud changes shapes before their eyes and the Mixed-Up Chameleon teaches them the importance of being true to oneself during a trip to the zoo. The imaginative language and memorable visual effects of this show should not be missed!
