Music by: Pegg Callahan
Directed by: Jerrod Bogard Lyrics by: Jerry Bickel Puppets by: Holli Rubin Choreography by: Rick Costello Scenery by: Chuck Majewski Dapper, young Peter Rabbit believes he knows better than Mama Rabbit. Ignoring her warnings he is determined to go to Farmer McGregor’s forbidden garden. Peter slips away from the drudgery of chores on a musical adventure to the paradise carrot patch. He’s sure no harm will come to him as he gives in to the temptation of the farmer’s prize vegetables. Peter not only gets a taste of fresh vegetables but also of life and the perils of trespassing. Children are delighted as they watch the thoroughly Scottish Farmer McGregor in hot pursuit of that rascal Peter Rabbit. Little Peter, played by live actor Holli Rubin, hops, scampers and finally eludes the towering farmer. Peter makes his way to safety aided by a cat-chasing Dogfish but loses his brand new shoes and jacket. Sheepishly, he faces the music with Mama Rabbit. He manages to save his own tail when he admits he’s learned the valuable lesson – “It’s better to be good than bad!” Filled with singing, dancing and giant fun, The Musical Tale of Peter Rabbit is an original production of Bits ‘N Pieces Puppet Theatre.

It was while performing in large theatres that the concept of nine-foot-tall puppets was inspired. The experiment with these towering, fanciful creations was so successful that the giant body puppet became the company's larger-than-life hallmark. Now the giants perform in each of Bits 'N Pieces' original musical adaptations of classic children's literature. The company tours extensively throughout the Recommended for: Pre K – 5th Grade Ticket Reservations: Contact Juanita Roberts at (251) 287-1018 Download reservation form here Download reservation for for matinee here
