Possibly Puppets presents Save the Day for Snail, an interactive handmade puppet show featuring Gladsy the snail designed for ages 3 through 9 and their families.
The loss of Gladsy's house sends her looking to her community for support. When bureaucracy fails, community members try to help, but it's not until everyone works together that they find a solution. Puppeteer Risa Lenore of Possibly Puppets combines live acting and puppetry in this new show made from reclaimed and upcycled materials. Children will be invited to interact in and with the performance, by making the sound effects, joining as puppeteers and helping rebuild Gladsy's house. With the use of tabletop mouth puppets, rod puppets, one very simple marionette and a rotating backdrop, Risa as storyteller and performer guides the audience through many emotions as the cable-knit snail searches for a new home. This is an eco-fable, a timely yet silly tale that reminds us that innovative community solutions are the only way forward
