Stellaluna

By Saskia Janske
Based on the book by Janell Cannon
with music composed by Guus Ponsioen

Stellaluna, the celebrated children’s book, is coming alive on the MCT stage with music, puppets, tap dancing, and so much more! Stellaluna tells the story of a baby fruit bat who gets separated from her mother and is adopted by a family of birds. Stellaluna finds that she is quite different from her feathered siblings; she sleeps upside down, she doesn’t care much for eating insects, and she flies at night. No matter! Pip, Flitter, and Flap love and take care of Stellaluna, even though she is so different. And she has a thing or two to teach them, too!

The bat and bird siblings turn their worlds upside down (literally) and find a new perspective. This short musical, based on the 1993 book that was listed by the National Education Association in the 100 Best Children’s Books of All Time, emphasizes the importance of embracing our differences and opening our hearts to new friends. Come watch Stellaluna take wing at the Missoula Children’s Theatre!
