Once there was a girl no taller than a thumb; her name was Thumbelina. This wonderfully imaginative production takes us into Thumbelina’s world fraught with dangers for one so small. A water rat named Walter and an unpleasant family of toads are determined to capture her. Plus, a grumpy old mole thinks she’ll make a fine companion in his gloomy house. If only Thumbelina can find Prince, the boy who promised to take her to the Land of the Little People, where she’ll be safe. This charming play is full of marvelous characters — Old Mother Fieldmouse; Swallow, the flighty bird; Suzi, a spider who can spin a wedding dress; and more. Thumbelina will enchant your audience!
