Puppet Showplace Theater is pleased to present the Boston Premiere of 'Ooey Gooey!' by Barefoot Puppets during February Vacation Week! Part of our 40th Anniversary 'New Year, New Shows' Series.

Sometimes characters end up in sticky situations!

This lively puppet show for young audiences features a mix of famous and funny nursery rhymes including 'The Three Little Kittens,' and 'Little Miss Muffet.' In this world of 'Ooey Gooey' poetry, we'll also meet an entertaining circus worm (who meets a sad fate!) and a young man named Jonathan (who ate way too much cake!) Barefoot Puppets' playful acting and multiple styles of puppetry will delight families during February vacation.

Recommended for ages 3-6.

45 minutes plus post-show demo.

Episodic, very silly, verbal (nursery rhymes) but not complex story-telling.

About the Performer: Having spent most of her early childhood barefoot in Hawaii, it only seemed natural that Heidi Rugg would name her company Barefoot Puppet Theatre.

Performing barefoot is very fun – but it's also very useful for operating the foot pedal sound system her husband engineered.

Barefoot Puppet Theatre began miles away from Hawaii, though, in Richmond, Virginia.

Heidi founded the company in 1997 after apprenticing as a puppet builder with Handemonium Puppets in Washington, D.C.

In 2001, with a growing touring schedule and a growing family, her husband Sam Rugg joined the company to help with building stages, managing accounts, and handling the technical side of lighting and sound.
