Vermont's PuppeTree brings to the stage a stunning production of Leo Lionni's classic children's book, Swimmy. This fully authorized multimedia production blends shadow puppets, animation, and projections performed by the PuppeTree's founder, Ann Legunn. A visual and musical treat, Swimmy features a classical music score that draws us into the undersea world and introduces children to lyrical work of Debussy.

The companion piece, Swimmer, is an original work inspired by Lionni's wonderful story, set on a picturesque New England river. A young girl recognizes the threats to her beloved river and learns to organize the people that live along its banks to change their behavior and preserve the magic of the river. Swimmer boasts an original musical score by Patrick Ross, a fifth generation Vermont fiddler and composer. Visual artists, musicians, puppeteers, and craftsmen have worked over 3 years to bring this beautiful and inspiring show to life.

Swimmy & Swimmer is ideal for 3-12 year olds and their families.

This event is brought to you by the Cambridge Conservation Commission (CCC) and will be held at the Varnum Memorial Library.
