Crabgrass Puppet Theatre presents
The Pirate, The Princess and The Pea
A swashbuckling pirate and princess adventure! A pirate’s life isn’t all “yo-ho-ho and a bottle of grog,” ya know. It’s hard work searchin’ for treasure, avoidin’ the sea monsters, keepin’ the crabs from eatin’ your nose, and fallin’ overboard just in time to meet a giant octopus. But it’s worth it when ya haul in that treasure chest . . . but the treasure in this chest happens to be a princess . . . a princess who doesn’t even believe you’re a pirate! And how do you prove you’re a real pirate? Arrgh. Well, ya start with a whole lot o’ mattresses! Come early and get a glitter tattoo!

Allynn Gooen’s
Goowin’s Balloowins
Enjoy a truly unique performance by madcap balloon artist ALLYNN GOOEN, who will fill the stage with extraordinary balloon creations as he leads an audience choice of the story of Snow White And The Eight Dwarfs, The Wizard Of Oz, The Story Of Purim, (or any of a large variety of stories) in which children from the audience will star.
Traditionally, clowns and magicians twist balloons into creatures for kids, but not Allynn Gooen. He uses balloons to turn the kids into creatures! Goowin’s Balloowins will capture the imagination of children and adults alike. Come early and get a glitter tattoo!

Cucumber Phil
by Ed Monk
Cucumber Phil is the finest cucumber farmer in all of Cucumber Valley. His life with his somewhat goofy cucumber-growing friends is perfect. Then Artichoke Annie shows up and wants to grow something different. Can Phil be friends with Annie and keep his old friends? Or will he choose to join them in driving Annie away? And what does all of this have to do with Buster the Evil Pig? Come early and get a glitter tattoo!
August 22nd
Casey Carle’s
Bubblemania
Back by popular demand! Casey Carle performs tricky undulations, manipulations and juggling with bubbles. An extremely unique program combining high energy entertainment with artistic achievement, BubbleMania is loaded with visual comedy, quick wit, big band swing music and the untamed, often unbelievable qualities and beauty of spherical liquids. Casey’s creations grow from intricate and imaginative bubble artforms to “trapping” people inside bubbles! This is a bubble show to keep the 5 to 75 year-olds mesmerized. Come early and get a glitter tattoo!
