Puppet Showplace Theater Presents: Jokes with Josue + The Tales of Turtle Boy by Emmanuel Elpenord

Join Haitian-American actor, puppeteer, and voice-over artist Emmanel Elpenord for an interactive performance featuring folklore, jokes, and adventure — and, you might even learn a few words of Creole! In the first story, Uncle Josue pays us a visit from Haiti, bringing tricky riddles and silly stories to share — inspired by Haitian folklore. The second act of this double feature is The Tales of Turtle Boy, a choose-your-own-adventure where the bashful, yet rambunctious, Turtle Boy marionette leads us through an action movie of the audience’s making — think Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles meets John Wick (kid-friendly edition)! Emmanuel Elpenord is an alumnus of Puppet Showplace’s <a href="https://www.puppetshowplace.org/creative-residency-for-black-puppeteers">Creative Residency for Black Puppeteers</a>, where he built his Turtle Boy marionette and workshopped ideas for this performance. Now, he returns to Puppet Showplace with a premiere of this all-ages show! After the Show: Meet the Puppets &amp; More! Stay after the show to meet the artist and see the puppets up close — the artist speaks English and Creole! Plus, take part in a craft inspired by the show and enjoy a dress-up station and coloring sheets! These activities are available after every performance, 11:30 am - 12:30 pm and 2:00 pm - 2:30 pm. All ages welcome, especially enjoyed by ages 5 - 10 Marionettes Length: 40 minutes Language: English &amp; Creole From New York City! This project was supported by the Coney Island History Project, Jim Henson Foundation, Haiti Cultural Exchange, and Puppet Showplace Theater.
