Join Bunny for a bowl of mush in the Great Green Room as he bids goodnight to clocks, socks, mittens and kittens, and the cow jumping over the moon. Beloved by generations of readers and listeners, this musical delights in the poetry and music of everyone’s favorite bedtime story. Goodnight stars, goodnight air, goodnight noises everywhere.

Showtimes are 7pm Thursdays and Fridays, 1pm Saturdays and Sundays with additional 4:30pm matinees on the second and third Saturdays.
