SYLVESTER & THE MAGIC PEBBLE |
Sat., Feb. 4, 2012 at 11 am & 2 pm
When Sylvester, a winsome donkey, picks up a shiny red pebble, its magic spins a heartwarming story that reveals to him the true importance of family and friends. In Enchantment Theatre Company’s production of the William Steig children’s book, Sylvester learns that magic works very well sometimes — he can turn the rain on and off! — but it can also work against him — when he transforms himself into a rock to escape a hungry lion. How will he transform back into a donkey? How will his loving family ever find him? Will he ever get home?
PAJAMA STORYTIME: Feb. 1 at 7 pm
