Planet of the Grapes

The clever Peter Michael Marino, who has been a leading figure in virtual programming for kids since the pandemic began, goes live with his latest imaginative adventure: a spoof of Planet of the Apes that uses toy-theater techniques to tell the story of astronauts who land on a world controlled by hyperintelligent vine fruit. It sounds like—dare we say?—a whole bunch of fun. The hour-long multimedia production, directed by Michole Biancosino, features original music by Michael Harren; for those who can't attend in person, it will also be streamed online.
