WATERFORD — The Waterford library will host the University of New Hampshire’s Little Red Wagon, professional children’s theatre troupe, at 11 a.m. Saturday, Aug. 6 at the Wilkins House on Plummer Hill Road.

The performance of “Strega Nona” is a musical adaptation of Tomie dePaola’s 1976 Caldecott Honor book. It brings Strega Nona, Big Anthony and the magic pasta pot to life. Through song, storytelling and puppetry, the audience meets Strega Nona, the kind-hearted “grandmother witch” who tells Big Anthony one thing he must not do. But Big Anthony is in big trouble. Will Strega Nona save the day?

Little Red Wagon performances are appropriate for families and children. “Strega Nona” will especially appeal to pre-kindergarten through grade four audiences.

“Strega Nona” is adapted for the stage by Thomas W. Olson, with lyrics by Roberta Carlson and music and additional lyrics by Aron Accurso. The play is directed by Carol Jo Fisher.

All are welcome. There is no admission charge, but donations to support the program will be accepted.
