Description:
'Stone Soup' is an old French folktale in which hungry strangers convince the people of a town to each share a small amount of their food in order to make a meal that everyone enjoys, and exists as a moral regarding the value of sharing. Pegasus Theatre's charming rendition is a musical set in the snowy Arctic. The characters are all indigenous animals, including a clever arctic fox, a lemming, a walrus, puffins, a polar bear, and a magical narwhal. This story inspires the qualities of generosity, coming together as a community, and the value of looking beyond stereotypes.
​
Perfect for kids 3-9.
