Curie O. Katt's Round-World Trip!

January 10-11

Saturday and Sunday Only!


Curie O. Katt was until very recently living in Flatland, but her curiosity got the better of her (as it always does), and now she has been convinced that there are more dimensions to explore that are worth her time in space on the funny shape we people call the Globe.
Watch as Curie and her best friend, Dolly Esper, explore the world together, faster than light as they slip between the shadows from place to place. A variety of shadow puppets, rod puppets, and the live-action cartoon "Mini Theater" show our beautiful world from angles you may never have considered!

Gee Golliest: It's The Very Dolliest!

February 6-8


Mother Sandwich is bedridden, and has invited her brother, Uncle Ham, to help look after the enormous Sandwich Family Mansion. Petrix wanted to look after the house herself, but she and her poppets keep getting lost in the walls, halls, basements, and attics. Uncle Ham shows them how the strange house is put together and they learn that cleaning and helping is much easier if you ask the right people for help. He knew her grandparents very well; they taught him everything he knows!
Join Petrix and her poppets as she and Dolly catch ghosts and set them free, find buried treasure, and learn more about their strange roots of their family tree!
