Penguin in my Pocket
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 — encountering a sea monster along the way. It’s a solo show featuring marionettes, rod puppets, audience member puppeteers, and live concertina music.
Science, technology, engineering, arts and math combined in one charmingly simple tale. Magical. Genius. Inspiring. – Jamie Donmoyer, Puppetry Journal
