Puppet Showplace Theater Presents: “Penguin In My Pocket” by Kurt Hunter Marionettes

What happens when a penguin scientist crash lands in the jungle? Stranded because of a failed experimental jetpack, our penguin protagonist has to work with an artistic monkey to find her way home — and encounters a sea monster along the way! This quirky tale highlights the importance of imagination in both art and science, and features a concertina and audience participation!

Stay after the show to meet the artists and see the puppets up close! Plus, enjoy a dress-up station, coloring sheets, and a penguin puppet craft. These activities are available after every performance, 11:30am - 12:30pm and 2:00pm - 2:30pm. All ages welcome, especially enjoyed by ages 4 - 8.
