Jack and the Beanstalk is based on the Appalachian folktale and is presented in a four part mini-series. In between this American classic there is a roller coaster ride of short stories, vignettes and songs from children's literature, traditional puppet theater, and the imagination of the puppeteer.
The show features hand crafted shadow figures and is fast paced, action-packed, and full of laughs

Trouble in the Nursery....
Mother Goose is away for the day and Father Goose has to take care of all her chores, including the storytelling. But try as he might he just can't seem to get those stories right.
Father Goose's Tales is an amusing, modern retelling of nursery rhymes, stories and children?s songs designed to entertain the whole family.

For thousands of years, man has manipulated puppets for a variety of reasons: ceremony, religion, education, therapy and entertainment. Of the many forms of puppetry, the most magical and cinematic is shadow puppetry.

Shadows Around The World explores the history of shadow puppetry and it's development throughout the world. The program will focus on World Cultures and History, the Oral Tradition of Storytelling and the development of Shadow Theater as an art form.
