    NEW SQUID ON THE BLOCK

    showtimes vary

    two puppeteers with squid and penguin puppets
    Description

    It can be hard to make friends. Especially if you have tentacles. Journey to Antarctica as a curious squid seeks connection in the most unlikely of places. Penguins, orcas, and jellyfish abound in an icy landscape for this heartwarming tale of friendship. Beautifully handcrafted puppets, an original score by Ned Haskins, and a good dose of silliness, combine to create a comedic, wordless performance that celebrates our ability to create connections, despite our differences.


    Recommended for 4+. Run time of approximately 45 minutes.
