Goodnight Moon and The Runaway Bunny

Mermaid Theatre of Nova Scotia

Mermaid Theatre of Nova Scotia has added to its acclaimed repertory of outstanding children's productions with an innovative double-bill adaptation of Margaret Wise Brown and Clement Hurd's beloved bedtime classics, GOODNIGHT MOON and THE RUNAWAY BUNNY.

GOODNIGHT MOON is a celebration of familiar nighttime rituals, while THE RUNAWAY BUNNY's pretend tale of leaving home evokes reassuring responses from his loving mum. Both tales feature endearing rabbit characters, and the soothing rhythms of bunny banter and dream-like imagery never fail to infuse young readers with a reassuring sense of security and peace. Whimsical puppetry and evocative original music will bring a new sense of appreciation to stories that have delighted several generations.

Ages: 2-7
