DRAGONCILLO PUPPET SHOWS
Dragoncillo Puppet Troupe returns to our stage for two family friendly puppet shows!
JINXED
July 12 | 10am | Ruth Humphreys Brown Theatre
A cursed fisherman? A science experiment gone wrong? A misbehaving chicken? How jinxed can a person (or animal) get? Join us for a spellbinding performance full of laughs and mishaps as Dragoncillo introduces you to a world of puppets and shadows.
TRY, TRY AGAIN
July 19 | 10am | Ruth Humphreys Brown Theatre
What do a circus full of would-be performers, a pizzeria that gets (almost) every order right, and a mustachioed cowboy have in common? Come find out as Dragoncillo tries (and tries again!) to deliver a puppet performance that would make even “Don Bigote” proud!
Adults – $25 | Kids – $15

ABOUT DRAGONCILLO
Dragoncillo is a puppetry troupe comprised of university scholars specializing in Spanish Golden Age theatre: Jason Yancey (Grand Valley State University); Esther Fernández (Rice University); Jonathan Wade (Meredith College); Jared White (Hillsdale College); and Alejandra Juno Rodríguez-Villar (Hanover College). The group debuted in April 2018 with a shadow puppet adaptation of the Juan Rana figure from Golden Age entremeses into an original production titled, The Fabulous Johnny Frog, offering performances in El Paso, TX, and Grand Rapids, MI. The company is dedicated to imaginative storytelling that educates while it entertains. Pictured: Jason Yancey
