Join us for the Misadventures of a Scientist Penguin!
By Kurt Hunter of Minneapolis, MN
Penguin in My Pocket tells the fun-filled and quirky tale of a penguin scientist who crash lands in the jungle when her experimental jetpack fails and how she works with an artistic monkey to find her way home. This solo-puppeteer production features marionettes, rod puppets, audience members’ puppeteering participation, and a musical concertina.
Created and performed by puppeteer and engineer Kurt Hunter, Penguin in My Pocket highlights the importance of imagination in both art and science.
