Nature Boy- a works-in-progress puppet show about a boy from a distant star who lands on a desolate, junked-out and bullied planet.  With the help of his friends, a pigeon and a snail, they listen to, remember, imagine and re-animate the planet.  On this journey, the bullies of the planet try to erase every vision of the beauty and diversity this planet once created.

Conceived and created by the 4th grade classes of St. Anthony Park Elementary School in St. Paul with puppet artist, Bart Buch.

Performed by the young artists of the same 4th grades, with puppeteers Stacy Lee King, Blake Love, and Emily Zimmer.  

Live music developed by Martin Dosh, Patrick Harison, and Alex Strachota.
