Frogtown Mountain Puppeteers: The Legend of the Banana Kid

Everyone is invited to a free performance of The Legend of the Banana Kid by Frogtown Mountain Puppeteers on Saturday, June 27 at 6:00 p.m. in the Adelaide Pearson Room. Little Chucky heads to the Wild West to outwit outlaws in this cowboy adventure! With a fistful of bananas, Chucky rides into town on his trusty goat for a showdown with Big Bad Bart and his gang of bandits. “The Legend of the Banana Kid” features 20 hand-crafted glove, mouth and rod puppets, and a slew of flying and twirling styrofoam bananas.
