The Swedish Cottage Marionette Theatre is featuring a three month show entitled, Little Miss Muffet's Monster-Sitting Service, telling the tale of the great-great-great-great granddaughter of the original Little Miss Muffet. In this case, the young Miss Muffet is literally running a "monster" baby-sitting service with her pal, Al the spider. A bad storm ensues and the whole gaggle of nursery characters enjoy a long night of song, dance and many more strange happenings.
