Meet a bunny with boundless energy\, a sloth with social anxiety\, a hedgehog wrestling with wrapping\, and a skunk who’s trying to keep everything cool and under control. Through song\, dance\, and original rock ‘n’ roll music by Boston local Phil Berman (of Puppet Playtime & The Holiday Sing-Along)\, these little stars discover that music can be an exuberant and healthy way to express their inner selves.  \n\n\n\nParty Animals comes from Sarah Nolen (of Puppet Motion) — creator of Judy Saves the Day and Lisa the Wise; and our beloved Resident Artist! The show balances silly antics with deeper truths\, all conveyed through traditional hand puppetry performance: the life of the party! \n\n\n\nLegendary rock star Pete Townshend once said\, “Rock ‘n’ roll might not solve your problems\, but it does let you dance all over them” — equally true for children and their grown-ups! \n\n\n\nPuppet Showplace Theater is Boston’s home for puppet show joy — with shows nearly every weekend\, for kids and adults\, just steps from the Brookline Village T stop! Puppet Showplace is dedicated to presenting outstanding puppetry to diverse audiences through performances\, workshops\, and community outreach.
