Red alert! A family trip to the beach goes awry when a young boy's favorite red ball gets whisked away by the tides.

Can he summon the courage to get it back?

Join Jasper, a timid kid with a big imagination, as he sets out on an adventure across the ocean, under the waves, and up into the clouds.

Along the way, he meets fantastical fortune tellers, thieving fishermen, and many mysterious creatures of the deep.

Will he ever reclaim his favorite Red Ball from the clutches of the sea?

Find out in this visually stunning production featuring multiple styles of puppetry, an original score, and lots of sea-faring fun!

Recommended for everyone ages 4 and up.

Faye Dupras grew up doing art and theater but it wasn’t until she accidentally stumbled upon a puppet exhibition in rural Ontario in the mid 90’s that she decided to become a puppeteer.

Luck was on her side, within the month she was apprenticing under the exhibit’s curator, Canada’s acclaimed puppeteer Noreen Young.

To broaden her training Faye continued to work as a puppeteer while completing a BFA in “Theater and Development” from Concordia University in Montreal followed by an MFA in “Puppetry Arts” from the University of Connecticut.

This allowed for many diverse experiences: performing around the world (France, Costa Rica, Spain, Brazil) and designing, directing, and building for numerous puppet and theater companies.

Since 2004 Faye has been the artistic director of Foreign Landscapes Productions under which she has created several award-winning performances, including 'By The Willow,' which received an UNIMA-USA citation of excellence, the highest recognition in American puppetry.

Critics have described Faye’s work as “spellbinding,” “imaginative,” and “powerful.” 'The Great Red Ball Rescue' is Faye's first full-length show for young audiences.
