Join us for Puppet Picnic: A Gathering of Tales, a magical collection of three short puppet shows that will transport audiences from cozy riverbanks to unexpected adventures!
This unique theatrical experience brings together beloved characters and brand-new stories in an unforgettable afternoon of visual storytelling.
Enjoy three short performances:
Flourish with Jennifer Marlow
Step into the gentle world of Mole and Ratty as they embark on charming Riverbank adventures. This heartwarming tale captures the spirit of friendship and the simple joys of nature, perfect for dreamers of all ages.
New Musical Adventure by Teresa Bergen & Kim Barlow
Experience an innovative puppet performance that tells its story entirely through music, movement, and stunning visuals. Follow the journey of a determined character who knows exactly what she wants as she encounters a troublesome hotelier. With original songs that thoughtfully weave together themes of standing up for yourself and caring for our world, this performance offers entertainment with heart and substance.
ZuZu and the Ghost Story with Logan Robins
To celebrate the Halloween season Zuzu wants to tell the world’s spookiest ghost story… the only problem? He’s scared. Of everything. This short, sweet, spooky puppet show for all ages explores themes of how creativity means we’re never alone.
This afternoon is perfect for families, puppet enthusiasts, and anyone who believes in the magic of live performance! Come hungry for wonder—this picnic feeds the imagination.
