Performed in a traditional style puppet stage, complete with a red curtain, "The Crawdad's Conundrum" is a wonderful story for all ages. Its' theme focuses on the web of life, ecology, biology, and the environment. In this show, told in rhyming verse, we use rod puppets and cardboard to tell the story of a fiesty young Crayfish who is determined to have her voice be heard. All sorts of adventures unfold as our hero and her friends a deer, a turtle, and other river dwellers try to protect their home from the ever increasing needs of the man.
