The classic tale by Eric Carle
(Pre-K - 2nd Grade)
Kids follow the caterpillar's path as he eats his way through one apple on Monday, two pears on Tuesday, three plums on Wednesday, and so on, through cherry pie and chocolate cake - until he gets really fat and has a stomachache - I bet you can guess what happens next!

This wonderful story is brought to life with songs in both English and Spanish, movement, percussion instruments, puppets and even a giant moon mask. While the story unfolds, children join in with the storyteller, singing the songs, counting the food and even becoming a butterfly themselves!

Singer Songwriter Vocalist Pianist Lauren Hooker at the NEW!!!! Phoebe's Place, a space dedicated to music, art, poetry and food, is named in honor and memory of Phoebe Snow born in New York City in 1950, but graduated from Teaneck High School and spent many years living in Fort Lee.

"If you miss the late singer-songwriter Phoebe Snow as much as I do, you’ll be happy to know that her native town of Teaneck has no shortage of female blues and jazz talent. (Lauren's) voice, one minute powerful and soulful and the next minute subtle and understated, at times reminds me of Snow, who we lost last April.

RAINBOW CROW is an interactive, educational and theatrical performance that delights audiences of all ages in a spellbinding style that both entertains and instructs. Based on a children's story book retold by Nancy Van Laan, RAINBOW CROW is the poignant tale of how fire was brought down to Mother Earth in a self-less act that affects permanent and positive change. Assuming the role of the teller of tales, Lauren encourages the audience to become the animals of the story through Native American sign language, singing Native American songs, and dancing a toe-heel dance step - getting everyone into the action. An enchanting combination of song, dance, storytelling, and the haunting sounds of Native American flute music, drums and rattles, RAINBOW CROW explores our relationship to Mother Earth.
