The Very Hungry Caterpillar at Flushing Town Hall
Back to Category Print this page

Sunday March 15th 2:14pm and 4:15pm
Flushing Town Hall

On Sunday, March 15, a very hungry caterpillar will eat its way through Queens, a chameleon will visit a zoo, and a brown bear will discover colors, in a heartwarming performance by Mermaid Theatre of Nova Scotia. The innovative theatre—traveling from Canada to Flushing—will present two shows that day—one in English and one in Mandarin.

Mermaid Theatre’s lively compilation captures the magic of not only one, but three Eric Carle favorites retold on stage through the magic of black light and fanciful puppets. The hour-long triple-bill will feature:
● The Mixed-Up Chameleon, who is bored with his life as he sits about changing color all day until he takes a trip to the zoo. His hilarious attempts to emulate the beautiful animals he sees conclude with his discovery that there is value in his own unique self.
● The Very Hungry Caterpillar, who eats his way through an amazing variety of foods on his path to becoming a beautiful butterfly. (Eric Carle’s international bestseller The Very Hungry Caterpillar sold over 45 million copies and has been translated into 65 languages.)
● Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See?, which has helped hundreds of thousands of toddlers to identify colors and creatures.

Capturing the rhythmic text and beautiful tissue-paper collage illustrations of the classic picture book, Mermaid Theatre’s adaptation generates fresh appreciation of an endearing cast of characters for audiences ages three to eight years old and their families.
