2015-2016 Season:

“Fitastic” is the show host. Requires actor who is physically fit and can do gymnastic stunts or dance. Should be comfortable with children as volunteers from the audience are brought on stage to interact with the puppets and Fitastic.
Rhyme Time and Discover Math and Science – These shows feature toy theatre size stages, simple paper puppets and shadow puppets, music, singing, and audience participation for preschool audiences. Our solo performers must be good singers and very good with small children.
