The Gruffalo’s Child at Segerstrom Center

Saturday, April 26 - Sunday, April 27

April 26-27, 2025

One wild and windy night the Gruffaloโ€™s Child ignores her fatherโ€™s warnings about the Big Bad Mouse and tiptoes out into the night. She follows snowy tracks and encounters all sorts of woodland creatures, including a debonair snake, an eccentric owl, and a cunning fox. But the Big Bad Mouse doesnโ€™t really exist, does he?

And what will the Gruffaloโ€™s Child do when she finds him? Follow the Gruffaloโ€™s Child on her adventurous mission in Tall Storiesโ€™ enchanting adaptation of the much-loved picture book by Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler. This production features Tall Storiesโ€™ distinctive style of physical storytelling combined with humor and catchy original music to create a lively performance.

This show is part of the Discovery Series, recommended for families with children ages 4-8.
