Recorded with an all-star band at Boston’s The Record Company, this world premiere performance will have audiences moshing on their feet. Performances run Saturday and Sunday June 7-8 and June 14-15 at 11 am and 1 pm.

About the Show

Party Animals follows four furry friends as they navigate the biggest social hurdle of their young lives — throwing their first party! Meet a bunny with boundless energy, a sloth with social anxiety, a hedgehog wrestling with wrapping, and a skunk who's trying to keep everything cool and under control. Through song, dance, and original rock 'n' roll music by Boston local Phil Berman (of Puppet Playtime & The Holiday Sing-Along), these little stars discover that music can be an exuberant and healthy way to express their inner selves. 

This latest Incubator world premiere comes from Sarah Nolen (Puppet Motion) — creator of Judy Saves the Day and Lisa the Wise; and our beloved Resident Artist! Party Animals balances silly antics with deeper truths, all conveyed through traditional hand puppetry performance: the life of the party!

Legendary rock star Pete Townshend once said, "Rock 'n' roll might not solve your problems, but it does let you dance all over them" — equally true for children and their grown-ups!
