Summer Reading Kickoff: Little Red Wagon's Presentation of "The Nightingale"

Upton Town Library will host the University of New Hampshire’s Little Red Wagon professional children’s theatre troupe on Tuesday, June 24, 2014 at 6pm at the Nipmuc High School Courtyard for a performance of  “The Nightingale.” Adapted from the 1843 story by Hans Christian Andersen and directed by UNH Associate Professor Raina Ames, Little Red Wagon’s “The Nightingale” is a reimagined telling of this Danish fairy tale. Through movement and music, the story portrays an emperor who neglects the beauty of his faithful, real nightingale in favor of a bejeweled, mechanical nightingale. Appropriate for kids between the ages of 3 and 10. No sign-ups for this program are necessary. In case of inclement weather the show will be moved inside to the Nipmuc High School Auditorium.
