Applause Unlimited celebrates one of the 20th century’s greatest storytellers with their award-winning show, “The Magic of Hans Christian Andersen.” Sometimes serious and heartwarming, sometimes downright silly, but always fun, the show features storytelling and song as well as over twenty hand puppets, rod puppets, and marionettes in three of Andersen’s best-loved tales: “The Ugly Duckling,” “Thumbelisa,” and “The Emperor’s New Clothes.” Filled with humor and messages suitable for all ages, this show presents the stories that grandparents will recognize, parents will love to share, and every child will long remember. Recommended for ages 4+. Run time approximately 45 minutes. Glen Echo Park has FREE Parking!
Ages: Family-friendly
