Shadow puppetry is an age-old art form that features the shadows of two-dimensional puppets cast upon a backlit screen. With its bold shapes and dynamic movement, it’s a magical medium that’s perfectly suited to bring best-loved stories to life for young audiences!

On Monday, April 24th, 2023 from 4:30-6:30, Join National Teaching Artist, Daniel Barash, for a one of a kind shadow puppetry experience at Selby Library in downtown Sarasota.

The evening will feature a mixture of interactive segments interspersed with versions of shadow theater performances the whole family will enjoy. Best of all, at the end of the show, Daniel provides a step-by-step demonstration for creating shadow puppets and a theater from scratch.

A light dinner will be served directly following the performance.

This event is made possible by The Patterson Foundation, The Suncoast Campaign for Grade Level Reading, and Suncoast Remake Learning Days.
