Bats! Fish! Salamanders! Caves are awesome and full of cool creatures and beautiful rocks. And best of all, caves never change — at least that’s what Jamie thinks.

Jamie has a special cave they like to visit when the world becomes too much. There, they are free to play, make up stories, and talk with 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! 

Join us for a special preview performance of this brand new show from CactusHead Puppets — known for their delightful shows of mixed puppetry styles, like Magnificent Monster Circus and The Bremen Town Musicians! Using both big and small puppets, a cool cave set piece, shadow puppet bats, 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.

All ages welcome, especially enjoyed by ages 5 - 9
