TheaterWorks presents The Fir Tree, a Hans Christian Andersen’s holiday fable. This free, family-friendly event and performance is at Centennial Park Plaza Amphitheater in Peoria.

“The Fir Tree” is a holiday-themed fairy tale about a fir tree so anxious to grow up, so anxious for greater things, that he cannot appreciate living in the moment. This fun production uses creative staging, puppetry, and music, and is a wonderful outing for families with children of all ages.

Come early for fun holiday craft activities. When your child makes a bird puppet at the Bookmans table, they can participate in the performance!

Supported by: Peoria Arts Commission
