Hats Off to Frosty!
A puppet comedy by The Olde World Puppet Theatre. “Hats off to Frosty” is a wild romp through the frozen land of the North Pole with a Snowman hat competition that is crashed by Rudolph, the Red Nosed Reindeer!
The 5th Annual North Pole Christmas Hat Competition of the Snow Folks will never be the same as Rudolph, the Red Nose Reindeer, crashes their party with silly hats of his own. Snowball fights, giggles, mayhem and reindeer games ensue in this delightful hand and rod puppet family holiday show. Can Frosty take the prize this year? We will just have to wait and see what the kids decide. The show is very interactive and suitable for children under 5 years and families.
Tiny Tot Show is early in the morning for preschool children who nap in the afternoons – perfect for families with younger children.
Tickets $15.00 each, ages 3 and up.
