Round up the children and the entire family and come have fun and play with Mermaid’s Theatre’s Swimmy, Frederick, and Inch by Inch at the Temple Theater on Saturday, May 7th at 2:30pm. The doors open at 1:45pm. There will be games for the kids, picture-taking with characters, and event t-shirts for sale.
Swimmy is a tiny insignificant fish in the vast ocean that uses ingenuity to fend off danger. Frederick, a mouse who is a poet from the tip of his nose to the end of his tail, makes everyday life an artful experience. The story of Inch by Inch features a loveable inchworm that is proud of his facility for measuring absolutely everything, including a robin’s tail, a flamingo’s neck, a toucan’s beak and a nightingale’s song. All these creatures provide wonderful scope for translation to puppet theatre through the gentle storytelling style.
Swimmy, Frederick, and Inch by Inch is part of the Angelina Arts Alliance’s Family Matinee Series and just in time for those looking to share with the whole family on Mother’s Day weekend, May 7th. Tickets ($5-$10) are on sale at the Temple Theater box office now. The show is best enjoyed by children ages 3 to 8; however playful for all those in attendance.
