friday, June 5: The Three Billy Goats Gruff Meet the Mysterious Creature with Jackie and Papa Wright
This version of The Three Billy Goats Gruff is about a creature that runs the fearsome troll from the bridge. Moose wants to eat the nice green grass on the other side of the bridge and invites the goats to do the same. However, the mysterious creature now wants to eat the goats. After receiving “goodies” to eat from the goody bag, the creature allows the two smaller goats across. He meets his match with Great Big Billy Goat Gruff. Meanwhile, the troll now understands how it feels to be afraid and vows not to frighten the three goats again.
Food and beverage are prohibited for this performance to keep the puppets in the best condition!
Audio description services are available upon request with several weeks notice.
