Featuring puppetry, dance, and interactive performances.
By: Chloe Rabinowitz Oct. 23, 2023
Since 1967, Shadow Box Theatre (SBT) has been the first theatre experience for over a million children from all of the boroughs in New York City. And this year, Jamaica Center for Arts and Learning (JCAL) has invited Shadow Box to become a resident theatre for young audiences. During this residence in the 2023/24 season, Shadow Box will be reintroducing weekend family shows, open to the public, including holiday storytellings, a benefit concert and the new main stage production, How the Turtle Got it's Shell with puppetry and dance! The first family show will be TOBIAS TURKEY, an interactive Thanksgiving puppet musical!
In this humorous, interactive, Thanksgiving tale, Tobias, with the help of his friends on Farmer Joe's Farm, becomes both the fattest, slowest turkey and the skinniest, fastest turkey on Farmer Joe's farm, learning that with his determination he can do anything!
Featuring CA/NYC Actress, Puppeteer, and SBT Co. Member, Bevin Bell-Hall (Theatre Row, TNC) Actor and Musician, Tommy Montgomery (The Office! A Musical Parody Off Broadway), and Actress, Puppeteer, Sketch Comedian, Sophie Larin (Signature Theatre).
