A professional company dedicated to producing original theatre and music for children and families, the Lenox-based Nutshell Playhouse takes pride in creating a “variety of characters to illustrate how the differences among people contribute to a richer life experience and an ability to accomplish things together.”
On Saturday, the troupe will be at the Eric Carle Museum of Picture Book Art in Amherst to present “Nutshellapalooza,” a musical show featuring Taco Caramba, “the fiercest pirate parrot ever to fly the Seven Seas”; the Ductionary, “a duck who knows every word in the English language”; and the Snook, “the detective who can find anything, even if it isn’t there.”
Performances are at 11 a.m. and 1 p.m., with a $5 admission price. The museum is at125 West Bay Rd. in Amherst. 658-1100
