Aug 2-4 Performances of Just So Stories

This week, Friday Aug. 2 - Sunday Aug. 4, we will be performing Just So Stories at The Eric Carle Museum of Picture Book Art in Amherst, MA! On Friday and Saturday show times are 11am and 1pm,  and on Sunday they are 1pm and 3pm. Tickets are $5 each, and you can purchase them at the door or over the phone at 413-658-1126. 

Our show includes silly adaptations of three of the classic stories by Rudyard Kipling, How the Camel Got His Hump, How the Rhino Got His Skin, and The Beginning of the Armadillos. We also use three types of puppets, hand puppets, rod puppets, and shadow puppet, so you get to see a great mix of puppets in this show. Here are a few pictures to give you a little preview:
