The Rainbow Fish

The Rainbow Fish

Musical for grades K-2, Presented by ArtsPower

Length of Performance: 55 minutes

With her lovely coloring and shimmering scales, the Rainbow Fish is used to being the most beautiful creature in the ocean. So when the other fish ask her for some silver scales, she refuses. How can she sacrifice the one thing that makes her so unique?

Will some good advice from the wise old Octopus persuade the Rainbow Fish to share her gifts with those around her? ArtsPower has turned Marcus Pfister’s bestselling book into a delightful and touching musical about the value of sharing true friendship with others.

The Arts in Education initiative integrates school curriculum, moral lessons and/or historical perspective through the performing arts.  It is our goal to provide students and teachers with a full performing arts experience. Performances are intimate and typically last one hour, with the ability to talk with the performers after the show – a rare and wonderful opportunity for enhanced learning. Study guides are also available, which provide educationally rich lesson for teachers to do with their students before and/or after attending the show.
