Please Ship This Wet Gift by Brave Bucket Co. at Puppet Showplace Theater

Mad, sad, scared, annoyed… How do you deal with terrible feelings?! This helmet-wearing clown thinks she knows the answers — but she needs your help! Together, you’ll crumple up paper, fend off cardboard sharks, draw pictures, sing songs, and more in Please Ship This Wet Gift — a very funny show about feeling terrible! Families will laugh together about feeling bad, enjoy lots of audience participation, and leave the theater with a few new ideas for what to do next time you feel crummy.

This show melds smarty-pants clown theater with expert puppetry to bring compassion and lightness to the heavy stuff. Parents have called Please Ship This Wet Gift “brilliant and hilarious” and “full of unabashed joy,” and we’ve heard from many parents who found that this show kept resonating for months afterward — as one parent said, “It gave us language and concepts that have supported us through some tricky emotional moments with our kiddo.” Don’t miss this exceptional show, coming to us from New York City!
