The first production is called "Jack and The Beanstalk" and will be running until September 13th. It is a whimsical musical story based on the old tale with a funny new twist. The puppets sing and dance and children clap and giggle right along with their parents! Bryan was completely captivated by this magical production, and laughed and cheered, and clapped along with lots of other kids in the packed theater performance. Afterwards we got the chance to go backstage and see firsthand the magic behind the scenes, the set, the puppeteers work area, and to watch the puppeteers make their puppets dance and act for us. Bryan was amazed and exclaimed, "Oh, cool, that's how they do it!" Now he wants to make puppets and a story with several characters and do his own puppet show, how cute! He says He can be the puppeteer, and I can be the "'tographer" cause that's what I like to do. lol! This is the perfect family friendly adventure for your whole family, don't miss it!
