We were kindly invited to experience Treasured Stories By Eric Carle at the Byham! Using puppets, black lights and a projector, talented performers brought 3 stories to life: The Very Hungry Caterpillar, Brown Bear, Brown Bear, and Papa Get the Moon for Me.
Brown Bear, Brown Bear is our absolute favorite story along with all of it's counterparts so we were extremely excited for this show. We weren't the only ones! The audience was filled with mini-fans and they cheered and followed along giggling at all the puppetry antics.
This show was so sweetly done and my two year old was in heaven with its simplicity. So true to to Eric Carle. 
The puppetry was simply fantastic but the behind the scenes sessions after each segment were by far the most interesting portions. Not only were the performances magical but educational as well with a question and answer opportunity after each.
I'm certain many little minds will be creating "puppets" tomorrow! While this is in town ONLY THIS WEEKEND it's a great idea to take some time out and introduce your kiddos to the magic of theatre and the wonder of story telling through puppetry.
Who doesn't LOVE Eric Carle stories? What's even better? On stage and in person. 
The shows in The Pittsburgh International Children's Theatre line up are always top notch and the perfect way to introduce children to the world of the theater. Once again, it did not disappoint.
Eric Carle’s gentle verses, snappy rhymes and textured collage illustrations are translated onto the stage with dazzling effects sure to delight young theater-goers and their grown ups.
Don’t miss out on seeing this award-winning company next time they are in town.
A full season pass can be purchased for $42 a person or for as little as $9.50 per ticket.
**Mac Kid Tip: Get there early because seating is not assigned and the booster seats go quickly!
