*11:30 am showtime may be added based on demand.
Told with Mermaid Theatre’s trademark puppetry style, enjoy this engaging version of three cherished children’s stories —The Three Little Pigs, Goldilocks and the Three Bears, and The Three Billy Goats Gruff. Embark on an adventure, with humor and heroism as we follow a brave raccoon and clever mouse on their journey to collect treasure. Along the way, they unknowingly prevent disaster for the goats, bears, and pigs, without any of the animals ever encountering a true villain. This imaginative retelling seamlessly interweaves three classic tales into a heartwarming adventure celebrating friendship, courage, and wonder.
LBC performance may not include pieces from above photographs or video.
