(ENGLEWOOD, NJ) -- Bergen Performing Arts Center (BergenPAC) presents Goodnight Moon and the Runaway Bunny on Sunday, May 1, 2016 at 1:00pm and 4:00pm. Tickets range from $15 to $39. Families are encouraged to wear their pajamas for this “Pajama Party Performance” of Goodnight Moon.
Mermaid Theatre has earned international acclaim for its unique interpretations of the works of Eric Carle (The Very Hungry Caterpillar ), Leo Lionni (Swimmy, Frederick & Inch by Inch) and Sam McBratney (Guess How Much I Love You). These widely-travelled productions incorporate innovative puppetry, striking scenic effects, and evocative original music to provide very young audiences with an effortless introduction to the performing arts and the excitement of reading. Goodnight Moon and The Runaway Bunny features these same elements.
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 tales 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 will bring a new sense of appreciation to stories that have delighted several generations.
bergenPAC is located at 30 North Van Brunt Street in Englewood, NJ
