Bring the whole family to the Kay Meek Centre to enjoy 
“Stellaluna” performed by the Tears of Joy Theatre, 
three-time winner of the American Citation for Excellence in
Puppetry. 

Stellaluna, based on the book by Janell Cannon, is the story
of a baby bat that accidentally falls headfirst into a 
bird's nest and is mistakenly raised like a bird until she 
is reunited with her mother. 

This show is geared to families with young children and 
everyone is welcome.
