What's New at MCP

New for summer 2025!

The 2025 SRC theme is "Our Colorful World". So, we have reimagined our Mother Nature Show to be all about the most colorful plants and animals on our planet - flowers and butterflies! Mother Nature will tell 2 stories using audience volunteers. One is "A Tree for Me" by Nancy Van Lan. All children will participate with call and respond during the story. The second story is "You Are What You Eat" - an original story written by Mother Nature, Margaret Clauder, herself! This story will also use between 2-4 audience volunteers to operate butterfly puppets and pretend to be flowers. The story is about how a little caterpillar, Calvin, got his wings by doing the most unusual thing. Children will meet puppets "Mama Racoon" and "Audrey, the Venus Fly Trap" that will come to life with Mother Nature's amazing ventriloquism. They'll learn about nocturnal vs. diurnal animals and more!
