"Sugar Stories" by Sunny Side of the Street Theater

About the Show:

A brand new marionette show about the curious little gliding cousins of possums! Watch as they embark on sweet and simple adventures, including outsmarting a snake, seeking shooting stars, and following a rainbow. Inspired by the early reader Mouse Tales by Arnold Lobel, the author of the beloved Frog and Toad books, this exquisitely crafted table-top marionette show is sure to delight you this summer!

Sugar Stories brings together the creative energies and expertise of theater designer Kathleen Doyle and playwright Sam Noble. Kathleen’s designs have been seen in productions all over the country, from Jazz at Lincoln Center to Walt Disney World, and Sam Noble’s plays have been produced through Boston Playwright’s Theatre, Smith College, and more.
