About This Event
Eric Carle's The Very Hungry Caterpillar Show — four of his beloved picture books brought to life with 75 larger-than-life puppets. Ten sessions at Dunstan Playhouse, Dec 19–22.
The critically acclaimed The Very Hungry Caterpillar Show returns to Adelaide these school holidays!
Eric Carle's timeless classic is brought to life on stage along with three more of his beloved tales — The Very Lonely Firefly, The Very Busy Spider and Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See? — in a show created by Jonathan Rockefeller and featuring 75 larger-than-life puppets, faithfully adapted from the pages of the books.
