One of our favorite venues in town is The Music Hall for the Performing Arts Detroit.
It is an easy place to choose as a favorite for many reasons but the one of the best is the children's programming they bring to town which is truly impressive.

& Other Eric Carle Favorites, Sunday, January 12th 2014 @ 4PM at
Music Hall in Detroit.
Continuing with its mission to bring
substantial children’s programming to Detroit area kids, Music Hall Center for the Performing Arts is proud to bring back
the iconic and beloved, The Very Hungry
Caterpillar, Little Cloud and The Mixed-up Chameleon by award-winning
children's book illustrator and writer, Eric
Carle, retold on stage in black light for two shows, Sunday, January 12th,
2014
The Very Hungry
Caterpillar follows the wonderful adventures of a very tiny and very hungry
caterpillar that progresses through an amazing variety of foods towards his
eventual metamorphosis into a beautiful butterfly.
Children will delight in the antics of Little Cloud. High up in a beautiful sky, Little Cloud slips away
from the rest and transforms itself into various shapes of things it sees - a
sheep, and airplane, a shark and more.
In The Mixed-Up
Chameleon, a little chameleon is bored with its life - sitting about
predictably changing color all day. So it decides to embark on an adventurous
trip to the zoo. Upon seeing the beautiful animals there, the little chameleon
tries changing to look like each one of them.
Mermaid Theatre of Nova Scotia presents The Very Hungry
Caterpillar and Other Eric Carle Favorites, adapted, directed and designed by
Jim Morrow, music by Steven Naylor, and narrated by Gordon Pinsent.

HUNGRY CATERPILLAR, LITTLE CLOUD and THE MIXED UP CHAMELEON.
