January 9 – Stellaluna by Emily Alexander

Presented by Tears of Joy Theater

Stellaluna, the enchanting story of a baby fruit bat who falls into a bird’s nest, is adapted from the beloved book by Janell Cannon. Poor Stellaluna tries to adapt to her new home but finds herself the odd one out, hanging by her feet and disgusted by those bugs Mother Bird brings home to dinner. And so begins the re-education of Stellaluna, out of her element and struggling to obey rules for which she’s naturally ill-equipped. What a relief when she finally discovers she is a bat! It message of self-acceptance and celebrating differences is warm and clear. Tears of Joy Theatre produces, develops, and presents puppet theatre shows that celebrate the diversity of world cultures.

February 27 – Johnny Appleseed: A Tall Tale as Retold by Steven Kellogg

Johnny Appleseed: A Tall Tale is the story of John Chapman (better known as Johnny Appleseed) an adventurous young man born during the Revolutionary War. John befriends Native Americans, loves the great outdoors, challenges woodsmen to tree-chopping competitions, and plants apple orchards. Using Steven Kellogg’s words, Book-It brings to life the true story of a hero who brings apples and hope to the early settlers of America, and recounts the exaggerated stories that grow out of his extraordinary experiences, incorporating themes of environmentalism, courage and pioneering exploration.
