Two FREE shows daily
Presenting
THE JOIN HANDS PUPPETEERS
Acclaimed as Ontario's Finest Touring Puppet Theatre
in their production of
A Wacky Revival of the Great Old
Travelling Snake-Oil Salesman Shows!
 The Colonel, is a big bold character who presents a variety show of large colourful puppets, including: The Wild Giant Grasshoppers of Borneo who dance The Can-Can; The Singing Catfish,- a blues/scat singer who squirts the audience whenever he says the letter 'S'; The Largest Egg In The World which hatches before the audience, and an Exotic Plant who does a really decent James Brown impersonation.
All the way through, the Colonel expounds the virtues of his wonderful elixir which he promises to sell to the audience at the end of the show.
When the end of the show arrives, he's shaken to find that his side-kick monkey has used up all the elixir.
Join in the fun and be invigorated, rejuvenated, and revitalized even without buying any elixir. A guaranteed great time for everyone.
