Old MacDonald has a most unusual farm. Parasol Puppets presents colorful hand puppets in this musical version of everyone’s favorite song story. On this farm are chickens and ducks and cows and ... oh, no, a very hungry fox! The story gets even more exciting when the Gingerbread Man races through this pastoral scene. Can anyone catch him? Audiences enjoy singing along with ukulele and hammered dulcimer music as these two familiar characters collide into an original adventure.

Behind the illuminated shadow screen of Oregon Shadow Theatre, colorful shadow puppets come to life and tell the story of The Green Bird. A boy is transformed into a fortune-telling bird by a magician. A brave girl journeys through Mexico to save him, encountering fantastic characters and scenes from Mexico's rich folkloric tradition. She sees skeletons dancing at a Day of The Dead fiesta. The climax of the play is set in the Bull Ring, where the audience joins in shouting "Ole!" Colorful and intricate shadow puppets combine with live music, voices and sound effects to create a delightful family entertainment.

Festival Workshop:

Saturday, November 19, 1:00 p.m.

This unique hands-on workshop gives participants the chance to see the backstage secrets of the puppeteers in action, as well as the opportunity to create their own puppet to keep!
