ABOUT THE ITSY BITSY SPIDER
In this World Premiere production, two young gardeners lead audience members through an adventurous day of gardening. They plant flowers, deal with rain, and meet a determined eight-legged hero. A favorite childhood song comes to life in this interactive, immersive theatrical experience!
Designed for ages 0-5 (or so), the performance is a creative experience involving songs and audience participation. During the show, children are provided with a small collection of props for use at specific times through-out the performance with the help of their adult. At the play’s end, each child receives a packet of seeds to take home!
The Itsy Bitsy Spider is written by Ernie Nolan. The cast includes Catherine Birdsong and Tamiko Robinson Steele.
Scenic and Lighting Design is by Scott Leathers, with Costume Design by Alarie Hammock and Sound Design by Ernie Nolan who also directs. The production is Stage Managed by Daniel C. Brewer.
Tickets for all performances are on sale. Tickets are $12 per person for any age child or adult. To purchase tickets call 615-252-4675 or visit NashvilleCT.org. Ticket fees apply.
