String and Shadow Puppet Theater brings their annual touring show to Open Space for Arts and Community on Thursday, July 30—a sprawling outdoor puppet spectacle that mixes shadow puppetry, circus arts, and original music into something between a fever dream and a children's book come to life. The Olympia-based company builds entire worlds from cardboard and papier-mâché, the kind of thing that works equally well for kids and adults who still remember why they liked weird, handmade theater.

Lineup

String and Shadow Puppet Theater
String and Shadow is a theater company based in Olympia, Washington. Each summer, they create a giant outdoor touring puppet show that weaves together a variety of puppetry styles, circus arts, and original music. With copious amounts of cardboard, fabric, and paper-mache, String and Shadow's worlds of fantasy and fable aim to pluck at the strings of universal wonder, innocence, and joy.
