An outdoor, interactive performance for ages 3 and up.

Join Trike's traveling theatre for a bilingual production of Mariposa/Butterfly. This program will take place outdoors. Please bring a lawn chair or blanket to sit on. In case of weather, the program will be rescheduled. 

Show Synopsis:

Two neighbors live side-by-side in Texas. A low fence separates their gardens, but much more divides them from one another. One neighbor grows flowers; the other raises vegetables. One was born in the United States; the other, in Mexico. One speaks English; the other; Spanish. 

Their differences have kept them so far apart that if one predicts a sunny day, the other is certain of rain. Even the arrival of a caterpillar causes disagreement — until the resulting mariposa/butterfly and its eventual departure unites them in wonder, in sadness, and in a new understanding of the beautiful world they share.
