About the Show:
The Gruffalo
On a daring adventure in search of hazelnuts, Mouse meets the cunning Fox, the eccentric old Owl and the high-spirited Snake. Will the story of the scary Gruffalo save Mouse from ending up as dinner for these hungry woodland creatures? After all, there’s no such thing as a Gruffalo–is there?
This performance includes a Teacher Resource Guide--a curated learning tool provided by Starlight staff to provide curriculum connections, pre- and post-visit materials, and a worksheet.
