Bay County Library System presents Mad Cap Puppets: Look Out Galileo

Explore the starry skies like never before! Madcap's giant puppets join Galileo on a comical quest to prove that the earth revolves around the sun. Scientific experiments are part of the fun as the ancient stories of Cassiopeia and Egyptian Sunrise come to life! In this production, Galileo and Simplicio, the sinister scientist, present their conflicting stories about the universe. Based in Cincinnati, Ohio, Madcap Puppet Theatre is nationally recognized for its original children’s theatre productions, and for in-school educational programs that include performances, workshops and residencies. Specialized programs also include such issues as conflict resolution, health, safety, environment and social concerns. In partnership with schools and libraries across the country Madcap brings art to children that enhances their education with life-enriching performances drawn from world literature and cultures. In collaborations with orchestras, museums, opera and ballet, Madcap brings a richly textured artistic experience to children and their families throughout the country.

Madcap premieres each season’s original productions through the Hats Off Series at the Cincinnati Art Museum, Xavier University, Clifton Cultural Arts Center and Speed Art Museum (Louisville, KY).
