Details about the puppet show:

Puppet Showplace Theater presents CARDBOARD EXPLOSION!

by Brad Shur, Puppet Showplace Theater Resident Artist

'Cardboard Explosion!' was developed in Puppet Showplace Theater's Incubator Program with support from the Jim Henson Foundation, the Bob Jolly Charitable Trust, and the Sakharoff Family Trust.

Get ready for a one-of-a-kind puppetry experience!

“Cardboard Explosion!” brings five original stories to life using nothing but cardboard and the power of your imagination.

With help from the audience, puppeteer Brad Shur transforms simple cardboard shapes into elaborate puppet characters, then brings them to life right before your eyes.

Get ready to outsmart dragons, choose-your-own superpower, and train adorable animal sidekicks in this fun, energetic, participatory show.
