The Rockwell Museum in Corning, NY is Open today, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Location: KIDS ROCKWELL Art Lab
Open to the public | Included with Museum Admission
In collaboration with Tri Cities Opera
Experience a puppet opera at the Art Lab! Tri-Cities Opera invites you into the rainforest for a production of Papagayo by Edward Barnes, based on the children’s book by Gerald McDermott. Papagayo the noisy parrot spends his days soaring through the skies and playing in the jungle. His raucous cries disturb the sleeping night creatures, who don’t have any interest in Papagayo’s games. But when the ferocious moon-dog appears in the night sky and begins to devour the moon, the terrified night creatures are helpless. Only Papagayo knows how to save the moon, and the night creatures learn that Papagayo is a good friend to have– even if he is a bit noisy! The show is appropriate for children ages 4-12 and their caregivers.
Show 1: 11:30 a.m. – 12:15 p.m.
Show 2: 1 – 1:45 p.m.
