Puppet Showplace Theatre Presents: “Dig Down Deep: A Cave Adventure” by CactusHead Puppets — World P

What if your safe, cozy place suddenly changed? Meet the Story Miners, who have been busy delving underground with a pick axe and shovel to unearth stories to share with the audience! You’ll meet Jamie, who loves to visit their very own cozy little cave. There, Jamie plays, makes up stories, and talks to a friendly Echo, and everything is familiar and as it should be. But one day, change follows them even to the cave, and Echo is missing! When Jamie sets out to get things back to normal, they soon discover that what goes on in their cave is more extraordinary than they ever imagined!

Be among the first to see this world premiere from CactusHead Puppets. Using both big and small puppets, a cool cave set piece, shadow puppet bats, real science facts, and a dash of humor, CactusHead Puppets weaves a tale full of imagination and sweet poignancy about the tricky experience of learning to embrace change.

Stay after the show to meet the artists and see the puppets up close! Plus, join us in the lobby for a puppet craft inspired by the show, and enjoy a dress-up station, coloring sheets, bubbles, and sidewalk chalk! These activities are available after every performance, 11:30 am - 12:30 pm and 2:00 pm - 2:30 pm. All ages welcome, especially enjoyed by ages 4-10.
