Mermaid Theatre

press release: The Madison favorite children’s touring company, Mermaid Theatre of Nova Scotia, returns! Little Nutbrown Hare loves Big Nutbrown Hare as far as he can reach. But Big Nutbrown Hare loves him as far as his long arms can reach. And so it continues in Guess How Much I Love You, the award-winning classic from author Sam McBratney and illustrator Anita Jeram. In Anita Jeram’s I Love My Little Storybook, an eager little bunny lies on the grass and opens his book, and within moments, the story he’s reading comes alive in fascinating detail.
