Thumbelina is the third in the Museum of Ventura County's new Family Fun At The Museum series of live performance presentations.

Presented in Museum of Ventura County's Martin V. and Martha K. Smith Pavilion. Performed by the Oregon Shadow Theatre, the adaptation of the Hans Christian Andersen fairly tale follows Thumbelina on a journey to the land of the flower fairies, using shadow puppets, live music and narration. Award winning puppeteer Deb Chase creates the shadow images, while Mick Doherty performs live music on the hammer dulcimer, electric guitar, and an assortment of percussion instruments. The performance is intended for adults and children ages four and older. Museum of Ventura County members' price is $10, and $5 for children.
