Description:
LION'S WHISKERS is a delightful musical adaptation of a traditional Ethiopian folktale, which features a charming cast of human characters as well as our favorite African animals.
All of the shows by Catskill Puppet Theatre present an example of quality puppetry accompanied by original music and stories designed to entertain as well as instruct. The show we present uses full sets, large scale animated rod puppets, professional sound and lighting, and a healthy dose of participation and imagination from the audience. Each show has a different theme and gentle lesson while exhibiting the multi-disciplinary nature of the art form. Their full sets, colorful scenery and beautiful puppets transform the simplest environment into a fantasy world rich with wonder and excitement!
As always, each puppet theatre show presented to elementary age children is of high quality, which is the hallmark of the Catskill Puppet Theatre. It carries on the living tradition of the old traveling puppet troupes.
