Jewish Museum Presents PETER AND THE WOLF, 12/12

The Jewish Museum will present Peter and the Wolf on Sunday, December 12 at 2 pm.  This performance for families stars the Pushcart Players in a musical theater adaptation of the traditional Russian folk tale set to music by Sergei Prokofiev.  While providing a charming introduction to the world of music and musical instruments, this enchanting tale is all about the adventure of growing up.  Danger becomes reality and creative innovation becomes essential as young Peter meets the challenge of survival in the outside world.

Tickets for this program are $16 per adult; $11 per child; $13 adult Jewish Museum family level member; and $9 child Jewish Museum family level member.  This performance is recommended for children ages 5 and up.  Adults are asked to accompany their children.  For further information regarding family programs at The Jewish Museum, the public may call 212.423.3337 or visit the Museum's web site.  Tickets for programs at The Jewish Museum can also be purchased online at www.thejewishmuseum.org.
