About the Show

Trouble in the nursery! Mother Goose has taken the day off, and Father Goose must do all of the storytelling. "Father Goose's Tales" is a hilarious modern adaptation of favorite nursery rhymes and children's songs performed with masterful shadow puppetry. Each performance includes a puppet demonstration and lots of audience interaction. A delightful show for audiences young and old!

All ages welcome, recommended for 4+
