WheatonArts is hosting “Peter and the Wolf”, a performance by the Pushcart Players in our Event Center. This performance will be held March 24 at 2 PM with free admission courtesy of the NJ Theater Alliance’s Stages Festival. This event is geared towards children but can be enjoyed by audiences of all ages.

This tantalizing version of the classic Russian folktale brings together all the elements of growing up: daring, defiance, confidence, and courage.

“Peter and the Wolf” is an enchanting production set to the resplendent music by composer Sergei Prokofiev. Each character is represented by a different musical motif in this story of a spirited young boy who confronts the dangers of the forest with courage, creativity, and leadership. With a professional cast (Actors’ Equity Association) who employs various forms of puppetry, singing, and choreography, “Peter and the Wolf” is a universal theatrical celebration that has toured nationally and abroad.

The themes of this story are what make it a timeless classic. Friendship and caring. Arrogance and prejudice. Youth and maturity. Conflict resolution and beauty in the natural order of life. All worthy of celebration! Filled with laughter and love, friendship and feelings, “Peter and the Wolf” offers something special for the whole family.
