Children (and adults) of all ages will enjoy the Tuesday, April 22, production of "The Snail and the Whale," at the Central Performing Arts Center at the high school in DeWitt.
This Tall Stories adaptation tells the story of a tiny snail who longs to see the world and hitches a ride on the back of a humpback whale. Together they go on an amazing journey, experiencing sharks and penguins, icebergs and volcanoes. But when the whale gets beached, how will the tiny snail save him? Follow the amazing adventure as seen through the eyes of an adventurous girl and her seafaring father.
The play is inspired by the book of the same name by Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler and includes storytelling, live music and lots of laughs.
