Performed by:
Talking Hands Theatre
Description:
Every season has unique qualities: the trees look different, different kinds of plants are growing, and people wear and do different things. In this magical show, set on a handmade dress that twirls as the year turns, each season has its own fairy that takes care of changing the natural world accordingly. That is, until a grumpy gnome decides to rearrange all the season fairies so things will stay the same all year round! Beautiful handmade fairy puppets and hand-felted animals invite young children to move, sing, and help the fairies of each season as they try find their way back.
