Cardboard Carnival
14 May 26
Whiting Bay Village Hall
Lempen Theatre
19:00 Puppet Show for all ages. This is "Carnival of the Animals" but not as we know it. Dissected for body part potential to create the "ultimate animal" we take inspiration from the music by Camille Saint-Saëns, a little help from Charles Darwin and a whole lot of cardboard to mash up a show full of puppet possibility.
