Meet the Hungry Caterpillar
Iconic children’s story “The Very Hungry Caterpillar” will return to the stage in Warragul on Thursday.
Eric Carle’s “The Very Hungry Caterpillar”, which sold over 45 million copies, will emerge from the page in a joyous and masterful theatrical experience created by Jonathan Rockefeller.
Brought to life with a menagerie of 75 loveable puppets, this critically-acclaimed production faithfully adapts four of Carle’s stories, including “Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See?” and, of course, the star of the show “The Very Hungry Caterpillar”.
A delight for those just discovering Carle’s stories and for the generations who grew up with his iconic books, this enchanting Australian-made show transports audiences into a pop-up-like version of Carle’s world that will excite and educate all ages.
“I hope the performances will be enjoyed by many and that the colourful characters bring comfort and joy to all who see the stories,” said Carle. “It is uplifting to see such beautiful and cheerful works inspired by my characters. I hope my books - and this show - will inspire you and your imagination.”
Limited seats remain for the two shows at the West Gippsland Arts Centre on Thursday at 10am and 12.30pm.
Running for 55 minutes, it is recommended for children aged two to eight and their grown-ups.
Tickets are $27 for general, $25 for concession, $20 for members, $15 for youth and groups, and $65 for a family of four.
