  • 7/27 Outdoor Puppet Show: Judy Saves the Day

    Join the Ballard Institute on 7/27 at 11 a.m. on Betsy Paterson Square for "Judy Saves the Day" by Sarah Nolen! After being pushed around for over 400 years, the famous hand-puppet heroine Judy has had enough! Cheer her on as she goes on a quest for respect, justice, and a well-deserved nap. This modern interpretation of the traditional Punch and Judy show is a hilarious, timely, hand-crafted farce that the whole family will enjoy!
     
    Admission is free, and reservations are not required. Chairs will not be provided, and audience members are encouraged to bring their own blankets and seating. Seating space will be first come, first served. In case of rain, the shows will take place in the Ballard Institute Theater at 1 Royce Circle in Downtown Storrs.
     
    The Summertime Saturday Puppet Show Series is co-sponsored by the Mansfield Downtown Partnership and supported by a generous gift from Phillip Mairorana in memory of his wife Theresa Mairorana and donations by Ballard Institute supporters to UConn Gives.
