Possibly Puppets: Save the Day for Snail

It’s the final performance in Menlo Park’s 9th Annual Summer Puppetry Festival. Join us as we welcome Possibly Puppets for the first time!
Puppeteer Risa Lenore combines live acting and puppetry in this show made from reclaimed materials. Children become part of the performance by making the sound effects, joining as puppeteers, and helping Gladsy the snail search for a new home.
