Join Mr. Bunni, a door-to-door vegetable salesman, as he journeys from earth to sea and even to outer space to find new customers. Will he ever sell enough carrots to please his boss? Or will his new friends teach him a valuable lesson? This imaginative tabletop performance features a live actor, colorful 2D paper puppets, and plenty of audience interaction. 

Brad Shur is a versatile puppeteer who has created and performed characters made of everything from pixels to paper mache. He is the Artist in Residence at Puppet Showplace Theatre in Brookline, MA.

We offer two performances of this warm, funny show: 11am and 2pm

Please stay after to plant your own carrot and play with puppets!

The Monkey King has high hopes for his time in the Heavens. He wants to meet the Gods and lovely Goddesses, and learn the secrets of long life. But when he isn't invited to the New Year Banquet, Monkey's appetites for mischief -- and peaches -- get the better of him! Will Monkey learn the ways of goodness?

Join Margaret Moody for this episode of the traditional Chinese epic "Journey to the West" told with traditional Taiwanese puppets and choreography, which she studied with the I Wan Jan Traditional Hand Puppet Troupe in Taiwan. 

And please stay after the show for oolong tea and a chance to dance with a New Year lion!
