The Rainbow Fish

Mermaid Theatre of Nova Scotia (Canada)

2 - 4 Aug (Fri - Sun)

Blacklight Puppet Theatre

Plunge into the stunning underwater world with the shiny Rainbow Fish

As its scales shimmer in all the colours of the rainbow, the Rainbow Fish is admired — and resented — by the entire underwater world, until a wise octopus advises it on the key to friendship. Further adventures follow as the Rainbow Fish finds the courage to explore the great unknown deep sea, discovering a new world with wonderful sights and affable creatures of all shapes, sizes and colours who are eager to make friends with it.

Internationally acclaimed for its interpretations of children’s books, Mermaid Theatre of Nova Scotia brings Marcus Pfister’s best-seller The Rainbow Fish to life with their innovative puppetry, striking scenic effects and original music. An effortless introduction to the excitement of the performing arts and reading, The Rainbow Fish will enchant even the youngest child with its silver scales and heart of gold.
