Update
APRIL AT PENN
These are two
of the eight indoor performances at the 19th annual Philadelphia
Children’s Festival. There are outdoor performers too.
The
Silent Theatre (Tyst Teater) (left) from Sweden presents

story of the princess who runs away from home disguised
as a donkey—but underneath the shaggy fur is
the most beautiful of dresses. Performances
are April 30 at noon, May 1 at 10 a.m., May
2 at noon, May 3 at 10 a.m. and 2 p.m., May
4 at 2 p.m. at the Iron Gate Theatre. For ages

world. Performances
