  • 3/1 "Reverse Cascade" A New Puppet Arts Production

    "Reverse Cascade," a new UConn Puppet Arts Production, opens March 1st and runs through March 9th at the new Ballard Institute and Museum of Puppetry in Downtown Storrs Center. "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 the Connecticut Repertory Theater Website here.
