Watch as your drawings leap to life, off the page and onto the stage!

Come along and explore the world of shadow puppetry with experienced puppeteer, Jenny Ellis. This hands-on workshop will give children the skills to make their own shadow puppet and bring it to life in a puppet show.

Participants will imagine and design their own unique puppet characters, then they’re guided through the process of making their puppets and giving them movement to bring them to life. Children will work together in small groups to create their own shows. With a few tricks of the trade, they will finish with a performance of their own stories on a real shadow puppet stage!

For ages 4-12. Children 6 years and under must be accompanied by an adult. Adults are required to purchase their own ticket.
