At Sea - Life and Limb Puppets
A fantastical puppet adventure, At Sea is an uplifting tale of a sailor’s triumph over darkness. Our Sailor is lost without their Heart Compass. Journeying through coral reefs, a siren’s lair and to the very bottom of the ocean, can they escape the belly of the beast and find their way home?
Enjoy this non-verbal show, featuring stunning projections and music.
Age range: Suitable for ages 6+
