The Arts at Millersville University Family Fun Fest series will present "You and Me and the Space Between," a children's theater piece by Terrapin Puppet Theatre of Australia, on Wednesday, April 3, at 7 p.m. at the Winter Center, 60 W. Cottage Ave., Millersville. Starting one hour before the performance, children will be welcome to participate in creative, hands-on activities.
From the mind of Australian children's playwright Finegan Kruckemeyer, "You and Me and the Space Between" explores the plight of refugees fleeing environmental change, as viewed through the eyes of a child. The show features a paper set that is cut, ripped, patched and otherwise manipulated live. It also includes choreographed projections and animation.
The 55-minute show, which will not have an intermission, is suitable for children age 7 and up and their families. Audio description and ASL services are available for the performance. Those who require ASL services are asked to contact the ticket office at 717-871-7600 to purchase accessible seats.
Terrapin Puppet Theatre presents contemporary puppetry for young audiences. It creates works for theaters as well as interactive installations for public spaces, and many of the productions are designed so they can be presented in languages other than English through the engagement of local artists. The company's work has been presented by the Royal Shakespeare Company, at Lincoln Centre in New York, at the Sydney Opera House, and at festivals around the world.
There is a cost per ticket, with a discount for students. For tickets and information, readers may visit http://www.artsmu.com or call 717-871-7600.
