Bring your cheerful people, bring your grouches, The Joshua Show will please them all. Debuted at Nasty Brutish and Short in Chicago in 2012 this show was awarded Puppeteers of America’s National Festival's “Best Performance” and “Fan Favorite" and has been touring internationally ever since. Don't miss your chance to spend time with "The Ambassador of Joy," puppeteer Joshua Holden with live music by Jeb Colwell. The Joshua Show could cheer up even the grumpiest grump, like Joshua’s right-hand man, Mr. Nicholas, who is planning an escape to outer space. With singing, tap dancing, and a cast of zany puppets, Joshua sets out to convince Mr. Nicholas to stay, and in doing so, he brings glee to the masses. Relax your smile muscles now because The Joshua Show will have you smiling from ear to ear with contagious joy. ALL AGES
