Piccadilly Puppets will be performing three shows and holding puppet-making workshops all day at Jim R Miller Park as part of Celebrate Freedom. This free festival sponsored by 104.7 The Fish features performances by some top Christian artists like Steven Curtis Chapman, Tenth Avenue North and Britt Nichole. There are also rides, bounce houses and other activities for children.

We are so excited to announce the world premiere of our new show, Splish, Splash: Water Stories! Developed with the help of Project WET, this show explores our most precious resource in a fun and educational way! Large hand-puppets are used in the Australian folktale of “Tiddalick the Frog” and the Creek legend “Rabbit Plays Tug-of-War,” which demonstrate that water is important to all cultures. The original shadow puppet piece, “The Adventures of Drip and Drop,” shows the water-cycle from the point of view of the raindrops. As the closing song says, “Everybody needs a little water!” Best for ages 4-10.
See below for the schedule, including FREE performances!
