Billy Goats Gruff and other Tales

Mermaid Theatre of Nova Scotia’s newest production, Billy Goats Gruff and Other Tales, presents a fresh and engaging reimagining of three cherished children's stories—Goldilocks and the Three Bears, The Three Little Pigs, and The Three Billy Goats Gruff.  Filled with adventure, humour, and heroism, the story follows a brave raccoon and clever mouse who are on a journey to collect treasure.

Along the way, they unknowingly help the goats, bears, and pigs, preventing disaster—without any of the animals ever encountering a true villain. This imaginative retelling seamlessly interweaves three classic tales into a heartwarming adventure that celebrates friendship and courage.

Designed for children ages 3 to 7, Mermaid Theatre’s latest production offers a captivating performance, laughter, and wonder for young audiences.

This show is ideal for ages 3-7.
