NATION’S
LARGEST TOURING GIANT PUPPET THEATRE PRESENTS: GIANTS
Cincinnati’s own Madcap
Puppet Theatre has a national reputation for giant puppets, but this new
production goes from big, to giant, to GI-NORMOUS!
These toweringly tall tales
include The Stone Giant, an Iroquois legend, Czech folktale The
Heartless Giant, and The Brave Little Tailor, from England.
Joining Madcap will be Cincinnati artist Will Hillenbrand,
illustrator of Look Out Jack the Giant Is Back! Madcap will have copies of the book
available for purchase at all Cincinnati performances. Mr. Hillenbrand will be
