My Night at the Planetarium

My Night in the Planetarium is the culmination of a multi-year partnership between Tanya Nixon-Silberg and Puppet Showplace Theater that explored the power of puppetry to translate complex, difficult realities of colonialism, dictatorship, and dissent into kid-centered stories and scenes. Using Nagara's vivid illustrations from all of his books, puppeteer Sarah Nolen created an intricate pop-up book world, which Nixon-Silberg skillfully animates. In keeping with Little Uprising’s mission, the show invites frequent and active audience participation. Accessibility Notice : We strive to make our events accessible.
