FAMILY FUN WITH "PETER AND THE WOLF" AT WILLIAM PATERSON UNIVERSITY ON MARCH 8
-- The Pushcart Players present the much-loved folktale for kids of all ages

Family fun takes center stage when the Pushcart Players bring to life the traditional Russian folktale "Peter and the Wolf" at William Paterson University in Wayne on Saturday, March 8. The performance, recommended for ages five and over, begins at 2 p.m. in the Shea Center for Performing Arts on campus.

Tickets are $5 for adults 18 and over with free admission for children. Parking is free.

"Peter and the Wolf" is a charming introduction to the instruments of the orchestra. Russian composer Sergei Prokofiev set the folktale to music and assigned musical themes on specific instruments to each of the major characters in the story. Peter, his grandfather and a menagerie from the animal kingdom are entangled in a story of adventure with just a hint of danger.

The Verona-based Pushcart Players is an award-winning professional theatre and arts-in-education company for young audiences. The Pushcart programs bring professional artists and arts educators to schools and theatres nationally and abroad.

"Peter and the Wolf is presented as a part of the NJ Theatre Alliance’s Sixth Annual AT&T Family Week at the Theatre.
