Shadowbox Theatre Comes to the BoogieDown Next Week

I just saw this listed in the New York Times, and it looks like a lot of fun for the little ones...

The Shadowbox Theatre
, which is a multi-ethnic troupe that performs souped up puppet shows, is coming to Hostos Community College (450 Grand Concourse at 149th Street) next week. Their main theatre is based down on Bleeker Street, so it's exciting that they'll be performing up here in the BoogieDown.

They will be presenting "The African Drum" in honor of African American History Month. Here's the full description from the Times:

Shadow Box Theater's multimedia presentation of traditional African tales features characters that include a talking leopard, a wise loon and a turtle that is just as resourceful as the hero of "The Tortoise and the Hare." All are shadow puppets, manipulated behind a lighted screen.

They will be performing Tuesday (2/10), Wednesday (2/11), and Friday (2/13) at 10am and 11:30am, and tickets are only $7.50. The show is recommended for pre-K through 5th grade.
