About the Show

Join puppeteer, ukulele rockstar, and all around funny guy Harry LaCoste for his family-friendly variety show! Along with his fuzzy puppet pals, Harry will sing songs you know, tell jokes you might not, and charm you with his interactive storytelling.

For three years Harry has entertained our youngest audiences on Tuesday mornings at Puppet Playtime, and now we’re bringing him to our Mainstage for an all-ages show that’s  great for big and little kids alike! Audience members have said, "Harry is so great! Out of all our weekly activities this is by far the best one!" and “We are still talking about it!”

Get ready to wiggle, giggle, and jam with Harry and his sunshine-spreading sidekick Good News Gus!

All ages welcome, especially enjoyed by ages 2-7
Hand puppets, live music, and more
Length: 45 minutes
