A new work for young audiences inspired from the Prokofiev classic Peter and the Wolf, with captivating large-scale puppetry by Glass Half Full Theatre and a new instrumental score written and performed live by Mother Falcon, a band NPR describes as “the little orchestra that can seemingly do the impossible.”  This original work introduces the mischievous but fearless Petra, the granddaughter of the fabled Peter.  When a wolf threatens her home and animal friends, her adventures become a showcase bravery and compassion.  Family audiences will work away from this stunning piece of visual and musical storytelling with a new sense of empathy for the animals that share our Earth.

Tickets are $20/$15/$10.  Call the Theatre Box Office at 310.781.7171.  For more information access www.torrancearts.org or www.holdenarts.org/petra-and-the-wolf.
