Admission to the performance, suited best to children ages four and older, is $15 for adults, $10 for children. Museum of Ventura County members’ price is $10, and $5 for accompanying children.

In “Peter and the Wolf,” composer Sergei Prokofiev’s music animates a tale of growing up, friendship, and survival in a hostile world. The presentation is the first of three in the Museum of Ventura County’s new Family Fun At The Museum program. On Saturday, April 21, at 3:00 p.m., comedians and master jugglers Gizmo Guys will perform, and on Friday, May 25 at 7:00 p.m., the Oregon Shadow Theatre will present “Thumbelina,” using shadow puppets, live music, and narration to bring the Hans Christian Andersen story to life.
