Louie’s Fabulous Mardi Gras Adventure age: 1st grade and up! This is a shadow play combining an overhead proector, traditional shadow puppetry and innovative story telling to tell a tale of rural Cajun country. Follow our hero as he rides from house to house, searching for that one special gumbo ingredient to share at the mardi gras feast, and join in all his fabulous adventures along the way. |

(not too scary) Poe Stories age: 3rd grade and up! Something for the older kids, a collection of Poe Stories told in various mediums: The Raven done with acting and moody overhead projection/shadow puppets and The Black Cat told with mime, acting and one devilish hand puppet. We are working on our version of The Tell Tale Heart. All employ period costumes and images and compelling design, a fresh new take on the classics. |

Why Mosquitoes Buzz in People's Ears age: kindergarten and up! The first part of this piece was commissioned by the Prospect Park Zoo for their Wild Arts Weekend. Based on the beloved folk tale and children's book, the piece teaches the great lesson of action and consequence. More stories are already in development! |
