    Jackson, Mississippi  
    Thursday and Friday  
    December 4 and 5, 2008 Sergei Prokofiev's "Peter and the Wolf" is the most exciting way  to introduce  
    and children to classical music and puppetry. This world-famous musical tale has   
    Wednesday and Friday been performed often, but very rarely using the unique Czech black theatre   
    December 10 and 12, 2008 technique. The complex but stunning style of this presentation allows complete  
    Showtimes - 9 and 10:30 AM freedom of movement for the almost-life-size puppets who interact on stage with  
  a real-life narrator to create a feel of a big screen animated cartoon.
