DOWN THE DRAIN
Stone Lion Puppet Theatre
Felicia Flash, wildlife photographer, and her side-kick, Karma the elephant, are at it again in their latest wacky adventure. Following a sewer rat down the drain opens up a new world for our duo as they discover what our watershed is, its connection to the ecosystem and how we can make a difference.Al, the rat, is upset when once again thoughtless humans decide to use his storm sewer drain as a trash can. Not only that, but he is put in danger when an oil barrel lands on his head, trapping him inside as it floats out to sea. Can our dynamic duo save him in time? What and who do they meet as they travel from stream to river, and where do they end up? Join us for the answers to these and many other nail-biting questions as we go...down the drain! Marionettes, rod and mouth puppets with lots of audience interaction!
