The
Gunnywolf-opening Spring 2019
Little
Rabbit goes into the forest to pick
flowers even after her mother tells her
not to. There she meets the Gunnywolf who
wants her to sing him to sleep. Every
time she stops singing, the Gunnywolf
wakes up and wants another song.
Meanwhile, Little Rabbit's froggie
friends are working on their act with
hilarious results. This musical show is
presented with Bohemian style marionettes
on a table top stage. Recommended for
ages 3 and up.
Puppylocks and the
Three Bears
WHAT
IF? What if the
Three Bears were really Teddy Bears! And
What if Goldilocks was not a little girl
at all, but a golden, mischievous little
dog? That is exactly the case is this
very funny retelling of the traditional
fairytale. Watch this impish little dog
do everything wrong in the Bear's house
while the bears are off to the TEDDYBEAR
CIRCUS! Puppylocks is presented with
traditional Bohemian style marionettes on
a tabletop stage. It runs about 40
minutes and is highly recommended for
ages 3 and up. Live music and singing.
The
Three Little Pigs
Three pigs set out to
seek their fortunes with a bit of house
building. Things don't go as planned in
this creative retelling of the
traditional story; houses collapse, pigs
and wolves play together and audience
members help the story along with lots of
live music, singing, construction and
laughter. Presented with traditional
Bohemian style marionettes on a tabletop
stage. This show runs about 40 minutes
and is recommended for ages 3 and up.

The Puppet Man
The Puppet Man is a
hand puppet presentation done in a very
traditional, European style. With
the puppeteer (Michael) wearing the
walk-around stage, the presentation
consists of a variety of humorous skits,
sometimes requiring audience members to
help out or make suggestions to help the
puppets solve problems. This
presentation can be geared to
few-year-olds or older, elementary aged
children. Different themes can
often be accommodated.
Little Elephant Has A
Ball
-----
This table
top presentation was designed for the
Puppets In The Preschool Conference at
Contra Costa College, and was created to
be developmentally appropriate for
preschool audiences. In the story,
Little Elephant finds a ball, but when
she goes to play with Monkey and Zebra,
she discovers that they are much better
players than she is and at first would
rather play without her. With the
prodding of Lion, the animals learn how
to play together and appreciate each
one's different skills with the
ball. This funny and tender show
includes live music on the ukelele and
singing with children learning the songs
and hand plays to join in, as well as
helping the animals figure out how to
solve their problems.
