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!
