Theater on the Greenway: The Many Adventures of Peter Rabbit

Join Peter Rabbit and friends for a playful adventure filled with puppetry, lively characters and opportunities to join the fun! Presented by Seed Art Share, The Many Adventures of Peter Rabbit is a locally written, interactive theatre production for young audiences. Four professional actors bring multiple characters to life, inviting audience members to participate in the story, answer questions and respond to the action. The venue is the Grove at Dorothea Dix Park and the nearby greenway trail.

Along the way, children explore garden vegetables, animals, new vocabulary and—with help from Mrs. Tiggy-Winkle—different types of clothing. The performance runs approximately 40 minutes, with an optional question-and-answer session afterward to learn about the show and working in theatre.

Seed Art Share is a local nonprofit theatre company dedicated to building community through interactive theatre, arts education and support for parent artists. The company brings locally written productions to unexpected places throughout the Triangle, including parks, gardens, museums and historic sites, and offers classes, workshops and camps for young people.

There is also a 2 p.m. performance.
