Umbrella Theatre at the Rocks Village Bizarre

Duckie Blog, Puppetry

Spring is in the air, the flowers are blooming, a sea breeze can be smelt on the wind and the sun is beaming away.

I’ll be involved in the Rocks Village Bizarre again this year, and the program is looking more exciting than ever!

 

This year on Friday nights in November and December, the Rocks will be transformed into a fairy light clad of historic sandstone alleys, lit up with free hula hooping lessons, meat carving and storytelling, and a rabbits-only bar. Most of the events are free and the atmosphere is romantic and magical.

Their promo video is gorgeous!

Of course, Umbrella Theatre’s pop up puppet theatre will be a part of the fun. We’ll be there on Fridays in November, with shows happening every 15 minutes between 6.30-9.30pm. Do come and visit, we’ll be showcasing a different puppet show from our repertoire every night.
