About the Show
When Lisa, a brave young girl with a heart of gold, meets Baba Yaga, the most famous witch in the woods, an epic battle of wits ensues. Dancing houses, enchanted dolls, and hilarious "ghost servants" bring this classic Slavic fairy tale to life with a contemporary twist (will Lisa succeed at the impossible task of helping Baba Yaga sort through her email inbox?)
Resident Artist Sarah Nolen’s comic brilliance shines through and imaginative shadow puppetry lights the way in this hilariously spooky storybook tale about the experiences that make us wise.
All ages welcome, especially enjoyed by ages 4 - 10
