This
Spider’s
Life
A nostalgic spider takes a look back at the bugs, beasts
and burrows that combined to make up his eco-system. Creature Feature presents
an original, and surprisingly fun look at tarantulas, scorpions, giant
millipedes and other invertebrate
members of ‘The Itsy Bitsy Empire’. Join us for this fun-filled
visit with our eight (and sometimes more) legged friends!
Commedia della Conservation
Creature Feature takes a journey back
to 16th Century Venice for an exploration of one of the oldest known theatrical
traditions – the
hilarious Italian Commedia dell’Arte! Traditional Commedia characters
such as Arrlechino the joker, Pantalone the tight-fisted grump, Columbina,
the wise-cracking
maid and Il Dottore – the know-it-all delight the audience with traditional
Commedia lazzi (or gags), while at the same time sharing important information
about taking care of ourselves and our planet.
A Tale of Two Creatures
The
not-so-evil-scientist Dr. Friesandacoke creates a creature of pure malice
and destruction…that
is until its true nature is revealed. A Tale of Two Creatures takes a light
hearted look
at monster movie conventions and also
teaches lessons about tolerance and cooperation as it dispels the myths associated
with several misunderstood animals.
An Arctic Odyssey
What happens when an overly-enthusiastic penguin overshoots her migration target
and winds up at the North Pole? And what happens when he suddenly finds himself
on a brand new Arctic talk show? An Arctic Odyssey is a funny and informative
look at the differences between Arctic and Antarctic Animals and the unique
ways they survive in their often harsh environments. Students will learn
important lessons, along with our intrepid Penguin and his new Polar Bear
friend, about diversity, adaptation and the family structures and survival
mechanisms of a variety of species.
