The Queen of Colors at The Wallis

Color takes on a giant rainbow of meaning in a smart and sweet tale for young children.  Based on the children's book by German author Jutta Bauer, The Queen of Colors uses ingenious puppetry to weave a simple story about kindness and originality. The Court Painter, who is accompanied by a Court Musician, creates vivid backdrops for the feisty little puppet queen as she ventures into her kingdom to experience the personalities of each color of the rainbow. We soon learn that while fun comes in all colors, too much of a good thing can turn into a mucky, yucky mess. Full of kaleidoscopic wonder and vivid imagination, The Queen of Colors is a whimsical story about choosing not to color within the lines and unleashing creativity.

Running time 45 minutes with no intermission. Recommended for all ages 4-7.
