About the show
Papagayo is a beloved story of a noisy parrot who works with the nocturnal rainforest animals to save the moon from being eaten by the ravenous Moon Dog. Along the way, the story illuminates an important lesson: every creature has value, and our differences often become our greatest strengths when we work together. With words & Music by Edward Barnes, based on “Papagayo: The Mischief Maker” by Gerald McDermott, the show features four singers utilizing puppetry to tell the story.
