New York Theatre Ballet presents Mother GOOSE! at Florence Gould Hall, 55 E. 59th Street, New York, NY 10022, on Saturday, February 10, 2018 at 1pm and Sunday, February 11, 2018 at 11am, 1pm, and 3:30pm. Tickets are $34 ($24 for children 12 and under) and are available at http://nytb.org/calendar-and-tickets/view/Mother-GOOSE.

Mother GOOSE! is a one-hour performance for children ages three and up.

The wit, wisdom, and whimsy of classic literary rhymes onstage, featuring a lively baker's dozen of Mother Goose characters. The literally leap from the page to the stage to stir the imagination of the young and the young-of heart - just as they have for centuries!
