Discover the magical world of shadow puppetry with Daniel Barash of Firelight Shadow Theater. After first introducing audience members to the art of shadow puppetry (including numerous puppets from Southeast Asia), Daniel will perform shadow puppetry versions of best-loved winter stories, including Hanukkah folktales. The audience will be encouraged to participate throughout the program, and volunteers will be invited up to the shadow screen to help perform the shows. See you in the land of shadows!

Celebrate Hanukkah with a story told through the magical world of shadow puppetry. Watch Jewish stories, wisdom and songs come "to life" through shadow theater performances. Shadow puppetry, an ancient art form that casts shadows on a backlit screen to wondrous effect, is truly the "Original Screen Time.”

This program is sponsored by the Friends of the Santa Teresa Branch Library.

Free, no registration required.
