Classic
Children’s Story Returns to the Stage at Center for Puppetry Arts
Prepare
for laughter and mischievous fun, as Sally and her brother once again
take audiences on a wacky adventure hosted by the one-and-only Cat in
the tall red and white hat! Back by popular demand, Dr.
Seuss’s The Cat in the Hat is presented June
12- July 20 at the Center for Puppetry Arts in the Mainstage
Theater. With plenty of rhymes, tricks and wit, Dr. Seuss’s classic
tale will transport audiences from the page to the stage, as the
performance brings the iconic illustrations from the book to life for
all to enjoy.
Adapted
by Katie Mitchell and directed by Jon Ludwig, Dr. Seuss’s
The Cat in the Hat features tabletop and rod puppetry
styles performed by skilled puppeteers Dolph Amick, Brian Harrison,
Reay Kaplan, Seth Langer, Eliana Marianes, and Tim Sweeney, with
performance interns Shari Bohnsack, Jake Krakovsky, and Abbey
Sanders, and understudy Megan Jance. All of the puppets, props
and costumes were created onsite by the Center for Puppetry Arts’
talented staff.
If
you are still unsure about taking the kids to this show here
are our top 5 reasons why you should not miss it!
1.
Beautiful stage, whimsical marionettes, cool special effects and a
rain of bubbles during the show!
2.
Encourages kids to use their imagination: Play, including imaginative
play, prepares the child for adulthood, play teaches him his place in
the world, and play teaches him how to interact with the world. It is
play that, in the child’s early years, lays a strong foundation for
the physical, academic, social and emotional wellbeing that will last
a lifetime. A child NEEDS to play to grow.
3.
It teaches kids how to rhyme words: The recognition of rhyme may be
the entry point to phonemic awareness development for many children.
Research indicates there is a correlation between phonological
awareness and reading ability. Working on rhyming skills is usually
part of most programs of reading instruction for that reason.
4.
It will make your child laugh and giggle during the entire show. I've
seen a lot of puppet shows here and The Cat In The Hat has been the
one that makes little kids laugh the most.
5.
Kids can make their own Cat in the Hat Shadow Puppet to take home at
the end of the show.
