40th ANNIVERSARY SEASON: SUMMER PUPPET ADVENTURES
UP NEXT: "Dr. Doohickey's Monster Machine" by Brad Shur, Resident Artist
Wednesday August 13 - August 16, 10:30am & 1pm
Why be surrounded by people when you can make your own awesome creatures to have fun with? These are the kind of monsters you want to find under your bed! So come down to the laboratory at Puppet Showplace and join Dr. Doohickey as he makes some interesting new friends!
About the Show: Dr. Doohickey always thought that monsters were more interesting than people. Why have two arms when you could have seven? Join the good doctor and his rabbit assistant, Reginald, as they fire up the Monster Machine on their quest to make the world a more interesting place. Featuring a cast of oversized puppets and "monsterizied" versions of your favorite fables, audiences of all ages will love this fun and interactive show!
