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 signing copies of Look Out Jack at specific Cincinnati performances of Giants. (Please see details below.)
