The Three Wishes by Spring Valley Puppet Theater
THIS WEEK AT PST
"The Three Wishes" & "The Wolf in Sheep's Clothing" by Spring Valley Puppet Theater
Thurs | September 29 | 10:30am
Sat & Sun | October 1 & 2 | 1pm & 3pm
Our Fall Fairy Tale Festival continues this week with TWO classic stories!
Spring Valley Puppet Theater returns to perform
"The Three Wishes" and "The Wolf in Sheep's Clothing" this Thursday, Saturday and Sunday.
About this show: What would
you do if a magical Elf gave
YOU three wishes? That’s just
what happens to Henry and Gretchen in this puppet production of “The Three Wishes.” This folktale favorite is flavored with a dash of dialogue, a generous helping of humor and the plot twists for which Spring Valley Puppet Theater is known.
In the second story,
a hungry Wolf tries to outwit the savvy Shepherd and make a meal of the helpless, little Lamb.
Helpless? Maybe not!
Adapted from the Aesop Fable,
"The Wolf in Sheep's Clothing"
is enlivened with a colorful Mexican setting, a humorous communication gap and a surprise ending!
