What can a donkey, a dog, a cat, and a rooster do when they have to leave their farm? Become world famous musicians, of course! CactusHead Puppets brings to life the funny, inspiring tale of four farm animals who set out to pursue their dreams of stardom. Along the way, they foil some robbers, discover riches, and learn how to work together in harmony. This production features elaborate shadow and rod puppets, lovable characters, and CactusHead Puppets’ signature sense of humor.
All ages welcome, especially enjoyed by ages 4 – 8
