Orpheum Theatre to Open Family Series with THE VERY HUNGRY CATERPILLAR, 11/1-2

? Back by popular demand, Eric Carle's famous story of the little caterpillar returns to the Orpheum Theatre November 1-2 to open the Orpheum Theatre's 2013-2014 Family Series.

Presented by the award-winning Mermaid Theatre, the triple-bill includes the story of The Very Hungry Caterpillar's metamorphosis into a beautiful butterfly, the fanciful account of a Little Cloud's travels through the sky, and the Mixed-Up Chameleon's discovery of his own unique nature.

Families are invited to arrive early and take part in pre-show lobby activities provided by Children's Museum of Memphis.
