The Paramount Theater of Charlottesville

Follow Peter and his friends through winter, spring, summer, and fall as they romp through imaginative adventures inspired by Ezra Jack Keats’ beloved stories. Using innovative shadow puppetry, music, and theatrical storytelling, this joyful adaptation brings The Snowy Day, Whistle for Willie, Goggles!, and A Letter to Amy to life while celebrating childhood curiosity, creativity, friendship, and the magic of everyday moments. Winner of the 1963 Caldecott Medal, The Snowy Day was one of the first picture books for young people to feature an African American protagonist and remains a beloved classic today.
