The Joshua Show: Episode 2
Ages 5 and up
Hilarious and poignant puppetry with original music ~ Two performances! A recognized "Ambassador of Joy" and award-winning puppeteer who has performed with the Broadway national show of "Avenue Q," joshua holden returns to the Just Kidding stage with his newest show. Even the grumpiest grump, like Joshua's right-hand man, the sock puppet Mr. Nicholas, who is planning an escape to outer space, will find something to chuckle at. With singing, tap dancing, and a cast of zany puppets to assist him ("Snail Male, "Larry the Lint" and "The Wonderbook" among them), Joshua sets out to convince crabby Mr. Nicholas to stay on Earth with compassion and glee.

The show, which MommyPoppins recommends for its vintage "vaudevillian style," includes original songs, live music and multiple styles of puppetry. Relax into your smile muscles now, because this show will make you grin from ear to ear with contagious joy. View The Joshua Show trailer here, and learn more at http://joshuashow.com/.
