Big Annie: An American Tall Tale for Christmas

The Shadow Box Theatre – the musical puppet theatre for children – presents Big Annie: An American Tall Tale for Christmas on Sunday, December 21 at 1 pm, as part of its Sunday Family Theatre series. The show is also ongoing on weekday mornings from December 10 to 23. This story stars Big Annie, a Creole flatboat captain and larger-than-life American heroine! With her amazing strength, and the help of her animal friends, she pulls a boatload of toys through a terrible storm one Christmas Eve long ago. Our storyteller and guitarist capture the rhythm and power of the American work song as the kids join in singing to help Big Annie succeed. The show includes a joyous Holiday Sing-Along celebrating Christmas, Chanukah, Kwanzaa and Three Kings Day.
