An appetizing afternoon of theater awaits Hadley Fund ticket-holders for a production of “The Very Hungry Caterpillar and other Eric Carle Favourites,” a compendium of works by the beloved children’s author and illustrator.

Presented by The Mermaid Theatre of Nova Scotia, the free program will take place at 2 p.m. on Saturday, March 19, at Unionville High School, 750 Unionville Rd. in Kennett Square, according to a Hadley Fund press release.

The acclaimed Mermaid Theatre is best known for unique stage adaptations of children’s beloved literary classics. Five million spectators in 15 countries have applauded the innovative puppetry, striking scenic effects, evocative original music and gentle storytelling. In this performance, three beloved stories by Carle, award-winning children’s book author and illustrator, are retold on stage through the magic of black light and fanciful puppets, the release said.

For more than 50 years, the Hadley Fund has been bringing free lectures and performances to the region. The program started in 1962 when Hal Holbrook presented “A Night with Mark Twain.” Other performers have included Martin Luther King Jr., Linus Pauling, Julius Erving, Marian Anderson, Alex Haley, Ogden Nash and Gloria Steinem.

All Hadley Fund events are free and open to the public, but tickets are required. For more information, call 610-444-1855 or visit www.HadleyFund.org. Event registration is available at HadleyFund.TicketLeap.com.
