The Search for the Skunkape

Presented by The Shadow Box Theater

Doors at 7pm, $10-$15

The story is a wild-goose chase (think Wile E. Coyote and the Road Runner). This large-scale crankie contains a colorfully illustrated backdrop in which shadow puppets traverse. Witness a Hunter try to capture and profit off of the Skunkape. Between Moments of Slapstick humor and captivating hand drawn visuals we find ourselves rooting for our big friendly Skunkape! The story, visual art and live performance is by the puppet group The Shadow Box Theater. The group consists of Phil Jasen and Otoño Gaskins. Both artists tell a story that shares a deep history of folk art, tall tales and friendship you find in the Southern Parts of the United States.
