About the Show

Puppetry meets clowning in this interactive production to bring empathy, laughter, and lightness to the heavy stuff! The audience will help out a helmet-wearing clown as she gives a “presentation” about her terrible feelings, using made-up songs, drawings, puppetry, and cardboard sharks. We'll all work together so we’re a little more prepared for those big feelings that inevitably come our way.

All ages welcome, recommended for 4+
Clowning, with object performance
