The Mermaid Theatre of Nova Scotia
Family, Theater

The Mermaid Theatre of Nova Scotia has set as one of its goals exposing young children to theater and inspiring in them a love of reading and storytelling. With famed children’s literature author and illustrator Eric Carle The Very Hungry Caterpillar, they have achieved this, providing a triple-bill performance that includes an assortment of favorite Eric Carle puppet characters. Enjoy the adventures of the magical transformations of Little Cloud, a chameleon’s trip to the zoo, and the progression of a little caterpillar into a lovely butterfly. Colorful performances of these characters come to life on stage with the Mermaid Theatre’s use of black light, providing a unique and vibrant experience.

A signature piece of The Mermaid Theatre of Nova Scotia, The Very Hungry Caterpillar has entertained children around the world, and has been translated in various languages. Come celebrate the 40th anniversary of the children’s book The Very Hungry Caterpillar at SOPAC and enjoy performances by other favorites of young theater patrons around the world.
