About the Show

A wooden marionette show about cute little gliding possums! Sugar Gliders are nocturnal little loud-mouths that come from New Zealand and Australia. Join them for three sweet and simple adventures about the loyal moon, a scary storm, and the search for a home that ends inside a rainbow.

An original set of stories in the tradition of the early reader Mouse Tales by Arnold Lobel, the author of the beloved Frog and Toad books, this exquisitely crafted table-top marionette show features the delightfully layered and textured designs of Kathleen Doyle, creator of Little Big Eye, with the writing talents of Sam Noble. Kathleen’s designs have been seen in productions all over the country, from Jazz at Lincoln Center to Walt Disney World, and Sam Noble’s plays have been produced through Boston Playwright’s Theatre, Smith College, and more.

All ages welcome, especially enjoyed by ages 4 - 8
