Center for Puppetry Arts to Present TRUE STORY OF THE 3 LITTLE PIGS BY A. WOLF, 5/28-6/9
Kansas City's Paul Mesner Puppets brings an entertaining children's book to life in The True Story of the 3 Little Pigs by A. Wolf at the Center for Puppetry Arts in Atlanta, GA.
Think you know the real story behind all the huffing and puffing? Well, think again! In this revealing, no-squealing adaptation of Jon Scieszka's popular book, Alexander T. Wolf finally has a chance to tell his side of the story. For years we have only known this story from the pigs' point of view. Now, Mr. A. Wolf explains what really happened to those houses made of straw, sticks, and bricks and the three little pigs that lived in them.
Paul Mesner Puppets has previously presented such popular shows as Martha Speaks, and The Stinky Cheese Man. For more information about the company, visit www.paulmesnerpuppets.org.
