Based on the award-winning book by Marcus Pfister, Mermaid Theatre’s The Rainbow Fish includes an original stage adaptation of Pfister’s colorful story as well as two of his companion tales, Rainbow Fish Discovers the Deep Sea and Opposites. The first of three tales introduces the most beautiful fish in the sea who finds friendship and happiness when he learns the value of sharing. Adventures continue as Rainbow Fish finds courage to explore unknown depths, discovering a world filled with friendly creatures of all shapes, sizes, and colors. The final story introduces the concept of opposites, with a most satisfying opposite of all – give and take – as Rainbow Fish shares one of his shining scales with a friend. Featuring innovative puppetry, striking scenic effects, and evocative original music, the company has earned international acclaim.
