Sunday November 3rd @ 1:30pm Craft, Play, Perform: Family Kickoff Day! (Ages 5-12)

The Dancing Guinea Pig: A puppet folktale from Peru. This short puppet show is followed by a chance to work with our puppet masters to craft you own puppet and participate in a mini puppet performance!

November 10th @ 1:30pm Blown Away By Poetry (Ages 5-12)

After Wendy Windstorm sneezes the poems out of Poetsville, she must embark on a journey to recover the town's lost verses. Along the way she learns abut rhyme, alliteration, and description from a series of helpful puppet poets. For the grand finale, young people in the audience write their own original poems, which they are then invited to perform onstage. Blown Away returns to Urban Stages after touring to BAM and Poets House last spring!

November 17th @ 1:30pm Lucy's Question (Ages 7 - 12)

A brand new musical from the creators of Blown Away By Poetry. Ten year old Lucy is on a scientific quest to find the answer to some very big questions. Along the way she encounters some strange fungus, a talking planet, and a host of other boggling realities. Join in on this puppet pursuit!
