Suitcase pop-up and rod-shadow puppet theatre
Unfold a storybook stage from a suitcase
Dabbling Brook / Mandi Bevando
Dabbling Brook offers commissioned puppet programs including Little Red, a tabletop story with rod marionettes and pop-up scenery carried in a suitcase. Another offered production combines rod marionettes with shadow puppetry. The company invites organizations and community hosts to book its current repertoire rather than merely attend public performances.
