The Ballard Institute and Museum of Puppetry and the UConn Puppet Arts Program present

ISH

An MFA performance by UConn Puppet Arts graduate student Felicia Cooper

Co-sponsored by the Mansfield Downtown Partnership

This 45-minute, family-friendly puppet show will be streamed on Sunday, March 21 at 7:00 PM on the Ballard Institute’s Facebook Live (facebook.com/BallardInstitute) in celebration of World Puppetry Day.

This show is a whale of a time and a (very) loose homage to New England’s own Moby-Dick, if Ishmael was a hyper-curious eleven-year-old girl and the whale was a little friendlier! With the help of her stuck submarine, Ish explores her perspective in isolated circumstances, a maker’s approach, and our relationship to the ocean. Join us underwater for shadow puppets, object performance, and three-dimensional cantastoria as we search for a whale from right where we are. Suitable for kids 6-11.
