Crabgrass Puppet Theatre presents
The Pirate, The Princess and The Pea

A swashbuckling pirate and princess adventure! A pirate's life isn't all "yo-ho-ho and a bottle of grog," ya know. It's hard work searchin' for treasure, avoidin' the sea monsters, keepin' the crabs from eatin' your nose, and fallin' overboard just in time to meet a giant octopus. But it's worth it when ya haul in that treasure chest . . . but the treasure in this chest happens to be a princess . . . a princess who doesn't even believe you're a pirate! And how do you prove you're a real pirate? Arrgh. Well, ya start with a whole lot o' mattresses!

Jack & Jill

Jack & Jill is a one-man puppet show featuring hand-carved, folk-toy-inspired puppets and live music.

In this story, a young coal miner and his companion go 'up a hill to fetch a pail of water' then take on a selfish giant and save a whole neighborhood! Everyone is welcome to a big ol', heapin' helpin' of this good-natured, heartland American story of teaming up and looking out for the little guy. A show for all ages.
