  • 3/7 Closing Weekend of "Reverse Cascade" at BIMP

    The final performances of the new Puppet Arts Production "Reverse Cascade" will be this weekend at the new Ballard Institute and Museum of Puppetry at 1 Royce Circle, Mansfield, CT 06269.

    "Reverse Cascade" is the MFA project of Anna Fitzgerald and features puppeteers from the Puppet Arts Program and musicians from UConn's Music Department. 

    Using Juggling objects and original live music, "Reverse Cascade" is based on the life of Judy Finelli, an accomplished juggler and circus performer until multiple sclerosis stepped in and began to take her body and her life’s work. It is a unique production created at UConn's own world famous Puppet program. The production is for an adult audience, but is appropriate for ages 12 and up. The performance is also completely non-verbal, so it can be understood by audiences of all language and hearing abilities. 

    Seating is limited! Tickets are $10 online, $12 at the door and $8 for students. 

    Tickets can be purchased at bimp.uconn.edu/tickets.

    More information about the performance on CRT's Uncommon Sense website, at bimp.uconn.edu or on Facebook/ReverseCascade.

    Performance runs 45 minutes. 

    Friday March 7 – 8 p.m.
