A Brown Bear, a Moon and a Caterpillar

I brought Lil Shauna for her 2nd play, “A Brown Bear, a Moon and a Caterpillar” on Saturday. It was screened at Genexis at One North and we caught it together with Mummy SY, Booboo and their friends. I had high expectations for the play as we really enjoyed the “Three Little Pigs”, the first play that we caught which was very lively and energetic. It makes one really happy with all the singing and music. Sadly, this one is a little slow and a tad too arty farty.

There were 3 short stories, the first was about a hungry caterpillar that eventually transformed into a butterfly after chomping non-stop, a second about the things that the Brown Bear saw. The last was about a little girl who wanted the moon. The play was staged in total darkness and the equipments were illuminated under the UV lights. The visual impact was great but the storyline a little too boring.

I think I even dozed a little during the 2nd and 3rd story, waking up every now and then at Lil Shauna’s comment. I felt bad for actually dozing off. Then I realized that I wasn’t the only one doing so. Lol. It only goes to show how boring the play was. Nevertheless, Lil Shauna enjoyed the play. She loves stories and always listens attentively when someone reads to her.

She was still in a happy mood after the play and smiled and posed really nicely for photos.

After the play, the kids ran around in the opened space in One North. Somehow, I think they enjoyed the running around more than the play. Even so, we will go for more plays in the future. They are quite nice and I hope to bring Lil Isaac along soon.
