String and Shadow is a theater company based in Olympia, Washington. Each summer, they create a giant outdoor touring puppet show that weaves together a variety of puppetry styles, circus arts, and original music. With copious amounts of cardboard, fabric, and paper-mache, String and Shadow's worlds of fantasy and fable aim to pluck at the strings of universal wonder, innocence, and joy.
STRING & SHADOW PRESENTS
Or So It Would Seam: A Giant Puppet Voyage into the Hidden Universe
Friday & Saturday, August 23rd & 24th at 6 PM
Show Relocated to the Quilcene Lantern!
With deep reverence for Mother Nature's unpredictable ways and the nourishing rain in the forecast, we are making a slight change to the plans for String and Shadow’s giant puppet show: we'll be relocating the show from Finnriver to the welcoming barn down the road at The Quilcene Lantern. We invite you to stop by Finnriver before for dinner and drinks on the way!
Equal parts whimsical fairy tale, outer-space odyssey, and slap-stick clown show, the story follows Space-Way Assistance Driver Captain Z (think, tow-truck driver in outer-space) as a mysterious distress signal prompts him to enter a mystical dimension. Between interdimensional subway cars, expanding black-holes, and giants who weave the fabric of space-time, Or So It Would Seam will take audiences out of this galaxy to contemplate the intricate and unexpected ways we are all connected to one another. Filled to the brim with giant puppets, original storytelling, and live music, Or So features a cast of 13 performers/musicians - and you, the audience!
Performance will be on the grassy lawn of the Cider Garden. Bring sunhats and blankets for seating but no outside alcohol/beverages and no pets in the performance yard area. Anyone with portable chairs are asked to sit at the perimeter. Please support our Taproom and Food vendors for your eating and drinking enjoyment.
$25 suggested ticket price, $10 kids, 5 and under free with no one turned away for lack of funds. Thank you for supporting these splendid artists!
