​​Join Dr. Longitude on his hilarious, puppet-packed quest for imaginary animals in the most ‘magnifical’, ‘tremendible’ and ‘fantasticulous’ show in town! Watch the caravan of curiosities and its crew of mysterious misfits as they discover if bumblewasps are poisonous, what whistling panks eat, what happens when you

lick trisillian toads, and whether the fabled Brian May Cow actually exists?

Help them answer these and more pointless questions in a ludicrously lyrical and magically musical tour from Shreds & Patches Theater Co. This indoor theatre version of the silliest, funniest, and most entertaining family show to date is suitable for big kids and small grown-ups!

The Shreds & Patches Theater Company is dedicated to the undoing of expectation, excavating festivity from the subdued times and spaces of daily life, through performance and decoration to engender playful imagining and meaningful reflection.

​

“THE MARVELLOUS IMAGINARY MENAGERIE” (school edition) is presented by special arrangement with and all authorized performance materials are supplied by Les Enfants Terribles.
