Or So It Would Seam: A Giant Puppet Voyage Into the Hidden Universe

  • Jean Sweeney Park 1925 Sherman Street Alameda, CA, 94501 United States (map)

A Family-Friendly Performance with String & Shadow Puppet Theater

For All Ages!

Equal parts whimsical fairy tale, outer-space odyssey, and slap-stick clown show, Or So It Would Seam is filled to the brim with giant puppets, original storytelling, and live music, featuring a cast of 13 performers/musicians – including you, the audience! 

The story follows Space-Way Assistance Driver Captain Z as a mysterious distress signal prompts him to enter a mystical dimension. Between interdimensional subway cars, expanding black-holes and giants who weave the fabric of space-time, Or So It Would Seam will take audiences out of this galaxy to contemplate the intricate and unexpected ways we are all connected to one another.

Donate what you wish (no one turned away for lack of funds). Suggested donations: $20/adult, $10/child.

Due to limited lawn space at Jean Sweeney Park, walk-up tickets will be accommodated as space allows. All ticketed guests will be seated first.
