Through live original music, storytelling and puppetry, Tracy McFarland and Dan Luce uplift and attune audiences, young and old, to their own personal joy and heart-centered intuition.
Under the Same Sky features three stories: of the river, of the forest and of the mountain. The characters range from philosophical crows, to guitar-playing trees, to a cloud-surfing Yeti! All are theatrically portrayed through a skillful and innovative combination of rod puppetry, marionette, and shadow puppetry. The show is book-ended with live musical performances which leave people feeling profoundly peaceful and elevated.
This is a 45 minute show with no intermission. The Saturday night performance will be immediately followed by a live music set with musicians Tyler Stuart, Dan Luce, Tracy McFarland and Aaron Coffeen.
Friday Sept 21 @ 7pm
Saturday Sept 22 @ 2pm & 7pm (with a special live music set after the 7pm show!)
