Event Details

Based on a Celtic folktale, The Silkie uses puppetry and songs to tell the mythic story of a wondrous creature from the sea who is bestowed with the mystic power of walking the earth as human. With magic, adventure, and a generous dose of humanity, this whimsical play illuminates the dreams of a fairy tale creature who wants nothing more than to be human, even if it's just for a little while. For ages 5 to 12.
