Join us for a larger than life, dancing puppet extravaganza, children’s show directed by Neile Martin! 

The cosmic creation snake is traveling across the universe to Earth for one day to bring a magical gift. All the amazing animals are coming together to celebrate her arrival. Lions and meerkats will prance, giraffes and hippos will tango, and birds will soar in this new work created for the University of Memphis Department of Theatre & Dance in collaboration with Off the Walls Arts and Memphis artist Yvonne Bobo.
