A new partnership between ArranmoreArts and Mayslake Peabody Estate in Oak Brook, creates Bookworm Adventures for kids. Bookworm Adventures brings classical stories to life through interactive performances that engage children ages 5 to 10 and encourages them to become the storytellers. Beloved storyteller, Hans Christian Andersen and his traveling companions bring to life three classic tales: The Princess and the Pea, The Nightingale and The Ugly Duckling on Saturday, August 17.
Each show will have two performances, 11:00 am and 1:00 pm. Tickets are $10 and can be purchased online at www.arranmorearts.org.
Lara Filip, ArranmoreArts Artistic Director said, “Bookworm has always been a labor of love, I find it so interesting that the majority of pop-culture media has roots in these classic stories. I find it’s very fun to see the stories in it's original form.”
