Event Description
Based on the award-winning book by Marcus Pfister.
The Rainbow Fish will enchant even the youngest child with his silver scales and heart of gold in a new adaptation of Marcus Pfister’s award-winning books about the beautiful fish who learned to share his most prized possession. Mermaid’s striking puppetry production includes two delightful companion stories: The Rainbow Fish Discovers the Deep Sea and Opposites.
