Ballard Institute and Museum of Puppetry

Inspired by a German children’s book, Isidor’s Cheek, performed by Jana Zeller of Sandglass Theater, is an adventure told through song and miniature puppets on a revolving table. One day, something drives Isidor from his little gray existence. His cheek runs away, and Isidor must search around the world to find it again! His journey takes him through a world of color and beauty as he contends with loneliness and sometimes, danger. This show is recommended for ages 4 and up. Isidor’s Cheek is an original Sandglass Theater production conceived by Ines Zeller Bass, designed and performed by Jana Zeller, directed by Eric Bass, with music composed and recorded by Peter Tavalin. 

Ticket prices are $12 for adults; $10 for members and seniors; $8 for students; and $6 for children ages 12 and under. Tickets can be purchased in advance at the Ballard Institute and Museum of Puppetry, by calling 860-486-8580, or online. A surcharge will be added to purchases made online. Tickets may also be purchased at the Ballard Institute on the day of the performance starting at 10 a.m. Seating is general admission; specific seats cannot be reserved.&nbsp;

Join us for Intimate Encounters, a student production directed by Thomas Goodin featuring two one-act plays that explore the complexities, volatility, and humor of human relationships. Anton Chekhov’s The Bear, set in 1888, follows a stubborn widow in prolonged mourning who is confronted by a farmer demanding repayment of a debt owed by her late husband. What begins as a financial dispute quickly escalates into a battle of wills. Christopher Durang’s Wanda’s Visit, set in 1997, centers on Marsha and Jim, a couple settled into a comfortable, if somewhat boring, marriage. Their routine is disrupted when Wanda, Jim’s eccentric ex-girlfriend, unexpectedly arrives for a visit, bringing pandemonium in her wake. Though separated by more than a century, confrontation, consternation and humor are woven into the fabric of both plays, which showcase the unique way men and women communicate and how emotions such as passion, anger, love, and affection can surface unexpectedly.
