Summer Break Show

Summer Break Show

Celebrate the start of Summer Break with a performance from Eulenspiegel Puppets!

Wednesday June 10th 11:00 AM   
In The Mirror: Three Tales from Asia   
by Monica Leo

A set of three tales from Korea, Japan and Turkey, these stories all feature atypical heroes. A favorite is the little old lady outsmarting two Onis (Japanese trolls) who imprison her in order to sample her delicious cooking. The show uses a clever stage that rises and folds out of a decorated box.

This show is FREE
