Family-friendly bunny tales at Music Hall Jan. 18

DETROIT - The Mermaid Theatre of Nova Scotia presents Goodnight Moon and The Runaway Bunny, Sunday, Jan. 18 at 4 p.m. at Music Hall Center for the Performing Arts in the heart of the Detroit Entertainment District.

Mermaid Theatre presents the ultimate pair of bedtime classics with its stunning stage adaptations of two beloved "rabbit tales." They are brought to life through playful glow-in-the-dark segments, whimsical puppetry, narration and evocative music.

Goodnight Moon is a celebration of familiar nighttime rituals, while The Runaway Bunny is a pretend tale of leaving home that evokes reassuring responses from his loving mother. Both feature endearing rabbit characters, and the soothing rhythms of bunny banter and dream-like imagery never fail to infuse young readers with a reassuring sense of security and peace.

Mermaid Theatre of Nova Scotia ranks among North America's most respected theaters for the young, and plays an important ambassadorial role for Nova Scotia and for Canada. The company launched its 35th season in the spring of 2007. Its unique adaptations of children's literature have delighted more than 3 million young people on four continents.

Tickets are $7 for children and $17 for adults and are available at the Music Hall Box Office or at www.ticketmaster.com.

Music Hall is located at 350 Madison St., Detroit.
