Pinkie and Blue
North Carolina Theatre for Young People presents the Regional Premiere of Pinkie and Blue!
On a magical night, two famous paintings, Pinkie and The Blue Boy are brought to life by the lights of a blue moon. Now they have one night to fly into all the other paintings around them, and have a “once-in-a-blue-moon” adventure. Based on the famous paintings displayed at the Huntington Art Museum, this visually stunning new work follows Pinkie and Blue on a magical journey into other famous works of art, accompanied by iconic classical music. Appropriate for children of all ages!
