The Big Whoop Dee Doo!

Filipino American puppeteer Ramon Abad presents a new, work-in-progress show for children of all ages. An ensemble of puppeteers will animate live on stage the wordless journey of a nameless immigrant puppet enduring a series of slapstick calamities. This will be a funny show using video projection and large puppets! Composer Joshua Icban will lead the live musical accompaniment with a compact-sized marching band.

Supported by the San Francisco Arts Commission and a Theatre Bay Area CA$H Theatre Grant and in partnership with non-fiscal sponsors APICC and KULARTS.
