Never Bored at Home is a one-hour object theater workshop for children ages 6+ and their parents. 15-20 children and their parents will enjoy a 10-15 minute presentation of Puzzle Théâtre’s repertoire, gaining inspiration for their own hands-on exploration of the forms they watch.
Participants will then learn how to make different kinds of eyes, how to build a creature from found materials, and how to harness the magic spark that brings such a creature to life!
Ages 6+ with guardian
Funded in part by the New England States Touring program of the New England Foundation for the Arts, made possible with funding from the National Endowment for the Arts Regional Touring Program and the six New England state arts agencies.
