  • 7/25 "Aladdin" by Stevens Puppets

    The Ballard Institute and Museum of Puppetry at the University of Connecticut will once more present its popular Summertime Saturday Puppet Shows for family audiences on six Saturdays, June 20-August 1, 2015. Each show will be performed twice, at 1 and 3 p.m. All performances will take place at the Ballard Institute Theater located at 1 Royce Circle, Storrs CT. 

    From the pages of "The Arabian Nights" comes the timeless story of "Aladdin"! This folktale comes alive with the help of Martin Stevens’ hand-crafted marionettes. Join us for a rare visit to the East Coast by this famed Indiana-based marionette company. 

    Admission is $5 for children, $7 for adults.  

    Tickets will be sold in advance through the Connecticut Repertory Theatre Box Office. The CRT Box Office is closed July 20-24, so tickets cannot be purchased in advance over the phone or in person at the box office. Tickets can only be purchased in advance online at https://itkt.choicecrm.net/templates/UCRT/index.php?prod=bimp. A $3.00 surcharge will be added to any purchases made online. Tickets may also be purchased at the Ballard Institute on the day of performance. There will be a limited number of seats.
