ThE MuSiCAL TALE oF PETER RABBiTBits N’ Pieces Giant Puppet Theatre Dapper young Peter Rabbit believes he knows better than Mama Rabbit. Ignoring her warnings he is determined to go to Farmer McGregors forbidden garden. Peter slips away from the drudgery of chores on a musical adventure to the paradise carrot patch. He’s sure no harm will come to him as he gives in to the temptation of the farmer’s prize vegetables. Peter not only gets a taste of fresh vegetables but also of life and the perils of trespassing.

Children are delighted as they watch the thoroughly Scottish Farmer McGregor in hot pursuit of that rascal Peter Rabbit. Little Peter, played by live actor Holli Rubin, hops, scampers and finally eludes the towering farmer. Filled with singing, dancing and 9 foot tall giant puppets, The Musical Tale of Peter Rabbit is an original production of Bits N’ Pieces Puppet Theatre. 11:00 AM, 1:00 PM, and 3:00 PM $8 adults; $6 kids 12 & under
