'Peter and the Wolf' to Perform at QCC's Performing Arts Center on Nov. 22

New Jersey’s Pushcart Players will hold a performance of “Peter and the Wolf” at Queensborough Community College’s performing arts center later this month.

The troupe, which is celebrating its 40th anniversary season, will perform the classic tale at 10 a.m. and 11:45 a.m. on Nov. 22 at the performing arts center, located at 222-05 56th Ave. in Bayside.

“Peter and the Wolf” is a production of Russian composer Sergei Prokofiev’s composition in which every character in the story is represented musically.

The story follows a spirited young boy who defies his grandfather by entering the woods and eventually becomes involved in the capture of a wolf.

“The themes of ‘Peter and the Wolf’ are what make it a timeless, beloved classic,” said Ruth Frost, co-founder of Pushcart and the writer-director of the production. “Friendship and caring, arrogance and prejudice, youth and maturity, conflict resolution and beauty in the natural order of life. All worthy of a celebration.”
