Parasol Puppets: THE GINGERBREAD MAN ON OLD MACDONALDS FARM
Old MacDonald has a most unusual farm. Parasol Puppets presents colorful hand puppets in this musical version of everyones favorite song story. On this farm are chickens and ducks and cows and ... oh, no, a very hungry fox! The story gets even more exciting when the Gingerbread Man races through this pastoral scene. Can anyone catch him? Audiences enjoy singing along with ukulele and hammered dulcimer music as these two familiar characters collide into an original adventure. Songs include OLD MACDONALD HAD A FARM, I HAD A LITTLE ROOSTER, SIX LITTLE DUCKS and INCH BY INCH.

Mesner Puppet Theater: THE CAT CAME BACK
Based on the folk song (made popular by Fred Penner), this performance tells the tale of Mister Johnson and a mysterious cat who keeps returning to his doorstep. Mister Johnson tries everything he can to get the cat to go away, from giving her to a pilot to sending her into outer space. The cat, however, keeps coming back!
