*Gary Grasshopper explores the meaning of life with a fish.*

*This performance may be unlike anything you have ever seen before. It is a
recreation of Victorian Miniature or paper theatre. People have compared the
beauty and miniature size of the show to a jewel; it sparkles with rich
colors and a universal story. The performers have gone far beyond the simple
Aesop's fable of the grasshopper and the ant to create a green-man cycle
tale as in olden times, a story that takes the audience on a journey through
the seasons, leading them to a new understanding of their own place in the
cycle of nature.*

*Michael and Valerie's award winning paper theatre shows have been enjoyed
at various festivals in Europe and the U.S. Now it is your turn to be
charmed by this intimate and lovely art form, presented with live music and
voices by professionals with combined nearly 60 years experience in
performances for family audiences.*
