The Very Hungry Caterpillar and other Eric Carle Favorites

Presidents Day (2/21/11) is Family Day at the State Theatre. Families can spend the school-day holiday enjoying dozens of performances, workshops, and hands-on activities—many of them free—plus costumed characters, the Philadelphia Zoo’s Zoo on Wheels, face painting, balloon animals, a live deejay, food, and more. The festival, which runs from 10am to 4pm, encompasses multiple venues: the State Theatre, George Street Playhouse, Crossroads Theatre, United Methodist Church, and the popular Herr’s Hub City Big Top, an enormous tent set up in front of the State Theatre. The mainstage event for Family Day is The Very Hungry Caterpillar and other Eric Carle Favorites (2/21/11), a delightful black-light puppetry performance by Mermaid Theatre of Nova Scotia.
Tickets: $15-25
