Friday, June 21: The Lion and the Mouse Puppet and Percussion Show
This adaptation of the classic Aesop fable teaches to be kind to everyone, even if he or she is small. Alligator is given the duty by Hippo to allow all the animals to get a drink from the river in his absence. Alligator lets everyone have a drink except Mouse. He feels that Mouse is too little. Lion tells Alligator he should be kind to all animals, even small ones. Mouse gets his drink, and he wants to repay Lion for intervening. Of course, Lion does not feel Mouse needs to repay him. However, when Lion is trapped in a net, Mouse is the one who comes to Lion’s rescue.
Our performer requests no snacks or sugary drinks at this performance, in order to protect the puppets as children handle them!
Audio description services are available upon request with several weeks notice.
