GALAPAGOS GEORGE
PUPPET SHOW BY BAREFOOT PUPPETS

SHOW DESCRIPTION

Who is George? He’s a tortoise, a giant Galapagos tortoise! Watch George grow up among lizards, sea turtles, and sea lions, along with hungry goats and dancing birds with blue feet. This show tells the true story of the last tortoise to be found on Pinta Island in the Galapagos archipelago. 

Touring from Virgina, Barefoot Puppet Theatre brings us an “uplifting eco-fable,” as described by The Smithsonian, that shares an important lesson about humans’ impact on the environment. This adorable show was awarded the UNIMA Citation of Excellence in 2005, the highest American honor in puppetry arts.

If you love animals, tortoises, the environment, and adorable puppets, Galapagos George is the show for you! You’ll fall in love with these islands…and this not-so-little tortoise.

** This show is an exchanged performance for “The Girl who Cried Dragon”
