PETER AND
THE WOLF

Thursday, October 15, 2009
10am

Suitable for grades K-3

Adapted from the story and music by Sergei Prokofiev

Directed with theatrical vision and style, Peter and the Wolf springs from Sergei Prokofiev's popular classic orchestral interpretation. It lifts some of Prokofiev's clever compositions, including his sharp instrumental definitions of each character, and adds Allison Gregory's clever adaptation and some new musical songs by Hummie Mann.

The show never veers far from the original tale, though. Told with puppets and with actors, it reminds young children of the struggle between man and animal, the importance of friends and using courage when challenges arise.
