It can be hard to make friends—especially if you have tentacles. Journey to Antarctica as a curious squid seeks connection in the most unlikely places. Penguins, orcas, and jellyfish abound in an icy landscape for this heartwarming tale of friendship.

Beautifully handcrafted puppets, an original score by Ned Haskins, and a good dose of silliness, combine to create a comedic, wordless performance that celebrates our ability to create connections, despite our differences. (45min.)

Designed for kids ages 5 to 10, but fun for all ages! Capacity is limited. Seating begins 30 minutes prior to performance.

This program is supported through the generous support of the Dr. Audley M. Grossman and Paul McPharlin Puppetry Funds.
