Look! Up in

the sky! It's a bird, it's a plane, it's Mighty Bug!

Superheroes

come in all shapes and sizes and The Center for Puppetry Arts in Atlanta

proves this with their new production, "The Adventures Of Mighty

Bug."

Mighty Bug

is the protector of Bugville, a lush paradise where Morpha Butterfly,

Professor Rhinoceros Beetle and other insects live peacefully. Their existence

is threatened however by the evil Scorpiana, Mighty Bug's arch nemesis

who lives on the spooky side of town. Will Scorpiana defeat Mighty Bug?

Will Morpha become Mighty Bug's lady love? What will happen to Professor

rhinoceros Beetle? All those questions will be answered in this energetic

production.

The show, created

and is full of music, including the local bug band's boogie woogie sounds.

While the visuals in "The Adventures of Mighty Bug" are certainly

stunning, the show is also educational, revealing interesting facts about

the insect world.

In addition

to the performances, there is also a Create-A-Puppet Workshop where children

ages 5 and up will get to create an "Ants at the Picnic" shadow

puppet and learn about the hierarchy of bugs. The workshop is $5 and admits

one child and up to two adults.
