In this solo theatre presentation, puppeteer David Simpich portrays a village woodcarver painstakingly preparing a marionette Nativity scene for a local Christmas music festival. The audience steps inside his workshop on an eventful night before the pageant as he applies the finishing touches to his figures of the Wise Men, Mary, and Joseph…
Utilizing a cast of nearly twenty hand-carved marionettes, Simpich weaves the old and new to create a warm, surprising, and reverent celebration of The Christmas Story.
NOTICE: Performance recommended for adults and school-age children (6 and older).
