Peter and Friends
See that egg? The one in the museum gallery
guarded by two boring attendants? It’s very
expensive and no one is allowed to touch it.

But just when the job of these attendants starts
to feel extra boring, they’re needed more than
ever! Will they succeed at keeping the egg safe?
Join Dutch theater/dance company Maas in
a charming production for young audiences
featuring miming actors, a chase scene, and a
hysterically egg-cellent time.

Inspired by Sergei Prokofiev’s Peter and the
Wolf, this concert developed specifically for
toddlers is sure to have audience members
playing like ducks, catching a wicked wolf, and
engaging with music all along the way! This
wild adventure features actors, puppets, and a
quintet of woodwind and brass musicians from
the National Symphony Orchestra, presented
in collaboration with Atlanta, Georgia’s Teller
Productions. Come early for a Musical
