This critically acclaimed Off-Broadway production brings four of Carle’s most beloved stories to life with a menagerie of larger-than-life puppets, playful music, and stunning stage design. Perfectly crafted for young audiences and nostalgic adults alike, this timeless masterpiece offers an unforgettable introduction to the magic of live theater. Audiences will be mesmerized as skilled puppeteers animate a series of classic tales, culminating in the appearance of the famous caterpillar who munches his way through a colorful feast before transforming into a majestic butterfly.

Hosted in the intimate setting of Manhattan's DR2 Theatre, every seat offers a close-up view of the artistry and puppetry.
