New Giveaway: 4 Tickets to Swimmy, Frederick and Inch by Inch at the Walton Arts Center

by Terri Chadick on September 21, 2007

I have another great Giveaway for you — 4 tickets to the production of Swimmy, Frederick and Inch by Inch at the Walton Arts Center on Thursday, September 27, 2007.  It’s pajama night, so be sure to have your kids wear their PJ’s or take their favorite stuffed animal to the show and they will get a special treat! 

I’m going to try something different for this Giveaway. To enter, just make a comment on this post — any comment.  Anonymous commetns will be ignored.  Or, if you don’t feel comfortable commenting, just send me an email with the word Swimmy in the subject line, and I will enter you in the contest.  The winner will be randomly picked and announced Tuesday morning.

Here are the details of the show:

Mermaid Theater of Nova Scotia, who has presented Guess How Much I Love You and Very Hungry Caterpillar at Walton Arts Center, returns to Northwest Arkansas with an exquisitely crafted production based on the Leo Lenni Cadecott Honor books, Swimmy, Frederick and Inch by Inch.  The performance will be held on Thursday, September 27 at 6:30 p.m. and ticket prices are $14 for adults and $9 for kids. Tickets can be purchased by calling the Walton Arts Center box office at 443-5600 or visit www.waltonartscenter.org .

Swimmy is a tiny insignificant fish in the vast ocean who uses ingenuity to fend off danger. Frederick, a mouse who is a poet from the tip of his nose to the end of his tail, makes everyday life an artful experience. The story of Inch by Inch features a lovable inchworm who is very proud of his facility for measuring absolutely everything, including a robin’s tail, a flamingo’s neck, a toucan’s beak, a heron’s legs, and a nightingale’s song.

All these creatures provide wonderful scope for translation to puppet theater through the gentle storytelling style which has brought international acclaim to Mermaid Theater.
