Join Barefoot Puppet Theater, Any Given Child Shenandoah Valley Artist In Residence, as they present their show, Galapagos George, for our community!
AGCSV provides live arts experiences during the school day for K-8 students in Harrisonburg City and Rockingham County Public Schools. Partnering with Court Square Theater, EVERY 2nd grade student will have a field trip opportunity to see this show the week of October 27. But, we want ANY young artist to enjoy the program, too! Join us for a family-friendly 50 minute show with an artist meet and greet immediately following.
Tickets are $10 and children under 5 are FREE.
Based on the true story of “Lonesome George,” this show tells the tale of a truly one-on-a-kind tortoise from the Galapagos Islands. Who is George? He is a tortoise, a GIANT GALAPAGOS TORTOISE! Watch George grow up among sea turtles, lizards, hungry goats, sea lions, and dancing birds with blue feet. As you visit his island, you hear the true story of the last tortoise to be found on Pinta Island in the Galapagos archipelago. Fall in love with these islands…and this not-so-little tortoise!
Described by The Smithsonian as “an uplifting eco-fable,” this engaging theatrical piece shares an important lesson about man’s impact upon the environment. This show was funded in part by a grant from the Puppeteers of America Endowment Fund and was awarded an UNIMA Citation of Excellence in 2005.
Puppet Styles: Hand, Rod, and Shadow
Audience: Grades K-6 and family audiences
