The Ballard Institute Presents A CORNUCOPIA CABARET! By Emily Schubert

As part of its 2024 Fall Puppet Performance Series, the Ballard Institute and Museum of Puppetry at the University of Connecticut will welcome Emily Schubert to perform A Cornucopia Cabaret! on Saturday, Nov. 2, 2024 at 11 a.m. and 2 p.m. in the in the Ballard Institute Theater, located at 1 Royce Circle in Downtown Storrs. 

This cabaret-style puppet show for all ages features a little bit of everything from crankies, to hand puppets, to a show in a suitcase! Join us on this topsy-turvy journey through time and space to meet a rogue cabbage left on the farm, enter a secret laboratory with experiments gone wrong, meet some not-so-typical animal friends and be transported to a mystical realm where a wise woman of old learns from nature and calls us to play our part!

She has participated in puppet theater festivals and workshops in Europe, Indonesia, and the United States including performing with the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra, at the National Puppetry Festival, National Puppet Slam, and New Orleans Giant Puppet Festival.
