String and Shadow Puppet Theater 5th annual giant puppet show, Or So It Would Seam: a Giant Puppet Voyage into the Hidden Universe debuted in 2024. Equal parts whimsical fairy tale, outer-space odyssey, and slap-stick clown show, the story follows Space-Way Assistance Driver Captain Z (think, tow-truck driver in outer-space) as a mysterious distress signal prompts him to enter a mystical dimension.

 

"It was whimsical and ridiculous in the best way I didn't know existed."

 

Between interdimensional subway cars, expanding black-holes, and giants who weave the fabric of space-time, Or So It Would Seam took audiences out of this galaxy to contemplate the intricate and unexpected ways we are all connected to one another. Or So was performed at Decatur Woods Park in Olympia, Washington for four weekends before departing on a 5-week tour of Washington, Oregon, California, and Montana.
