Not too Close to the Sun

Children's Theater

King Minos. The Minotaur. King Midas and his Gold Touch.

Echo and Narcissus. Daedalus and Icarus.

Some well-known Greek myths are enacted by a team of 14 puppets and 2 humans (and a half-human half-puppet) in this colorful and lively handpuppet show. Tasty bits, funny bits and certainly a few tragic bites make 

Not Too Close to the Sun a delicious

taster of these important tales.
