Red Herring Puppets presents an original rhymed version of the classic tales told with music and large table-top puppets. These timeless stories are simple to understand and address topics relevant to school age children such as bullying, selfishness, competition, ingenuity, and the affirmation that little beings can achieve great things.

Our production was awarded an UNIMA citation of Excellence, the highest honor in American Puppetry.
