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 by UConn Puppet Arts students on six Saturdays, July 2 through August 6, 2016. Each show will be performed twice, at 11 a.m. and 2 p.m. All performances will take place at the Ballard Institute Theater located at 1 Royce Circle, Storrs, CT.
On July 23, join UConn Puppet Arts graduate students Krista Weltner and Shane McNeal for "Victoria's Not So Bedtime Story." The two sisters Victoria and Margaret don't always get along, but when the goal is avoiding bedtime, there is no end to what this dynamic duo will do. Come watch several stories unfold, including "The Fantastic Flying Books of Mr. Morris Lessmore," "The Clockmaker and the Elves," and "The House That Jack Built."
Admission is $6 for children (12 years and under), $8 for adults.
