MADCAP PUPPETS PRESENT: THE NUTCRACKER

ABOUT THE SHOW:

Clara needs a little help from The Nutcracker to keep the Sugarplum Fairy from spoiling their holiday festival. Madcap twists this classic story into a fantastically funny tale, filled with giant puppets, comical characters, and audience participation.

OCPL KIDS:

The Children's Department of the Ohio County Public Library is the place to read, play, learn, and grow! 

Early childhood literacy is important. Children who are read to regularly exhibit higher activation in areas of the brain that support mental imagery and comprehension of narratives ⁠— key skills needed for independent reading comprehension. Library programs have significant positive impacts on early development and help equip children with lifelong learning and literacy skills that help prepare them for school and beyond.
