Best for ages 3-10
Mr. Dave and his puppet friends present:  The Invastion of the 5 Little Monkeys!  What do you get when 5 Little Monkeys invade a local retirement home?  You get 45 minutes of music and mayhem that will drive you bananas.  Every young one knows the story of the “5 Little Monkeys”-  they love to jump on beds and bump their heads.  In this wonderfully silly interactive hand and rod puppet show, you will have the chance to help Mama Mia and Mr. Rutabaga, two elderly residents of “The Castle”, a Royal Retirement Community Home, get the infamous 5 little monkeys safely down to sleep for the night. Come and reminisce through music, rhymes, and the fun of generations past, all played through the eyes of the old to the hearts of the young.
