Come celebrate Tu B'Shevat, the Jewish New Year for the Trees, with Daniel Barash of The Shadow Puppet Workshop. In this participatory puppet show watch stories and hear poems and songs about trees come to life on an illuminated shadow stage. Audience members will have the chance to puppeteer behind the screen at the conclusion of the program. See you in the land of shadows!
In partnership with the PJ Library of the San Francisco Bay Area.
Daniel Barash, director of The Shadow Puppet Workshop, travels around the country as a teaching artist working with educators, students, and families. Using the ancient art of shadow puppetry, in which shadows are cast upon a lit screen, stories and folktales from around the world are brought to life.
In partnership with the PJ Library of the San Francisco Bay Area.
