Ballard Institute Presents OMA By Sandglass Theater, April 22
One character emerges from the tangle of wool and nearly ruins the party. But not to worry, all ends well at Oma's house.
As part of its 2023 Spring Puppet Performance Series, the Ballard Institute and Museum of Puppetry at the University of Connecticut will present Oma by the Vermont-based Sandglass Theater on April 22, 2023 at 11 a.m. and 2 p.m. in the Ballard Institute Theater, located at 1 Royce Circle in Downtown Storrs.
This new family show by Shoshana Bass and Jana Zeller is an intergenerational tale that revolves around Grandma or "Oma." It is her birthday and all are preparing for the celebration. While the grown-ups manage work phone calls, playdate logistics and other such tasks, the children get into mischief with party decorating, present wrapping, and cake baking. Finally they all gather around for one of Oma's stories, told with yarn. One character emerges from the tangle of wool and nearly ruins the party. But not to worry, all ends well at Oma's house.
