The Puppets Are Back At Goat On A Boat

Update: Due to concerns about the spread of COVID-19, Goat on a Boat Puppet Theatre has cancelled its March programming.

Goat on a Boat Puppet Theatre is back at Bay Street Theater in Sag Harbor this spring and kicks off the new season on Saturday, March 14, at 11 a.m. with a performance of “Judy Saves The Day.” The puppet show follows the trials and tribulations of famous hand puppet heroine Judy, who, having been pushed around for over 200 years has had enough. Audience members are invited to cheer her along and lend support as she embarks on her quest for respect, justice, and, most of all, a well-deserved nap.

This modern take on the classic Punch and Judy tale is a timely farce that the whole family can enjoy. Tickets are on sale through goatonaboat.org.

Other shows coming up at Goat on a Boat Puppet Theatre:

Saturday, March 21, at 11 a.m. — “Dirty Gerts” explores the origin of the saying “She thinks she’s Queen Elizabeth, but she’s Dirty Gerts to me!” Haven’t ever heard it? Well now you have. With help from Puppetkabob, their latest creation, “Dirty Gerts” is a coming-of-age tale about growing pains, following the story of a young heroine who finds that the best way to fit in at school is to not actually fit in at all. Featuring puppets made entirely out of repurposed paper products, the show reveals itself as a groovy blend of pop culture, puppets, and colorful confetti.

Saturday, March 28, at 11 a.m. — “The Doubtful Sprout” explores the world below in an underground puppet adventure, following main characters Worm and Sprout as they uncover the mysterious life found inside soil. Along the way, this interactive show asks the audience to help figure out the secrets that help Sprout grow big and strong. Liz Joyce, award-winning puppeteer, brings this ecological wonderland to life with a variety of puppetry styles, projections, and song.
