Kids’ theatre ‘Stellaluna’ teaches self discovery

stellaluna_939x200_titleInstead of getting all glum because the holidays are over, pack up the gang and head to Seattle Children’s Theatre production of “Stelluna.” Adapted from the book by Janell Cannon, the show runs through Jan. 15, 2017.
Here is the story line: When a baby fruit bat, Stellaluna, is separated from Mother Bat in the forest, she is adopted by a family of birds who teach her their boisterous, baby bird ways. Young audiences will delight in the music, artistic puppetry, and dance, empathizing with Stellaluna as she swoops and crashes through the forest trying to be just like her feathered friends.
Parents can look for themes of friendship, self-discovery, celebrating differences, and trying new things.
