Goodnight Moon is a celebration of familiar nighttime rituals, while The Runaway Bunny’s pretend tale of leaving home evokes reassuring responses from his loving mum. Both feature endearing rabbit characters, and the soothing rhythms of bunny banter and dream-like imagery never fail to infuse young readers with a reassuring sense of security. Mermaid’s staged adaptation brings a new sense of appreciation to stories that have delighted several generations.

About the Author
Few writers have been as attuned to the concerns and emotions of childhood as Margaret Wise Brown (1910–1952). Brown, a former teacher, believed that very young children could be fascinated by the simple pleasures of the world around them. Few had previously attempted to write specifically for children aged two to five, and Brown created some of the most enduring and beloved children’s books of all time as well as developed the concept of the first durable board books.

This show is 60 minutes in length, with no intermission.

Tickets are $18.50 for Adults, and $10.00 for Children under 18.

 Presented by Pilot Company, Tennessee Arts Commission, and the Katherine Davis Moore and Mary Elizabeth (Betty) Davis Foundation Fund, a fund of East Tennessee Foundation
