Circus!

In grand circus tradition, the “Grandest Show on Strings” features a panoply of pandemaniacal clowns, death-defying acrobats, and an amazing menagerie of fauna from the farthest reaches of the globe. This is the Puppet Co.’s only variety show, and is unique in its performance of “trick” marionettes in nine well-constructed “mini-stories.” Performed by Christopher and MayField Piper, many of the acts were built more than 50 years ago by Christopher’s parents for “Len Piper’s International Marionette Circus.”
