The Very Hungry Caterpillar and Other Eric Carle Favorites presented by Chicago Children's Theatre at Ruth Page Center For Arts

Chicago Reader - Highly Recommended

"...The exquisitely painted animals and scenery, though, go beyond mere faithfulness to Carle's original illustrations, thanks to Kat McCormack and Simon Rainville's witty puppetry. They make the stories fun and interesting again, even to the older audience members, who have already been compelled to read them several thousand times."

Around The Town Chicago - Highly Recommended

"...I have always been of the opinion that getting youngsters to live theater at an early age is the way to inspire them to want even more “live theater” and that is why, companies like Chicago Children’s Theatre are important to our “theater community”. As we introduce our youngsters to the concept of “live theater” over movies, we teach them more about emotion and creativity. As my Grandson Adam has said “a movie is like doing something on the computer cut and paste while theater is happening now!”. In a way, that truly sums it up. There is no going back! What happens ,happens and it is up to those involved to keep it comfortable for the audience. CCT brings us a variety of works and their current offering is bringing The Mermaid Theatre of Nova Scotia’s “The Very Hungry Caterpillar” to our audiences."
