About String and Shadow: String and Shadow is a theater company based in 
Olympia, Washington. Each summer, they create a giant outdoor touring 
puppet show that weaves together a variety of puppetry styles, circus 
arts, and original music. With copious amounts of cardboard, fabric, and 
paper-mache, String and Shadow's worlds of fantasy and fable aim to 
pluck at the strings of universal wonder, innocence, and joy. Formed in 
the summer of 2020 to bring a Drive-In puppet show to their community in 
lock-down, String and Shadow has gone on to create five original full 
length shows and to tour regionally and nationally in the United States. 
They are currently a company-in-residence at The Olympia Family Theater.

About the show: String and Shadow Puppet Theater presents their 5th 
annual giant puppet show, Or So It Would Seam: a Giant Puppet Voyage 
into the Hidden Universe. Equal parts whimsical fairy tale, outer-space 
odyssey, and slap-stick clown show, the story follows Space-Way 
Assistance Driver Captain Z (think, tow-truck driver in outer-space) as 
a mysterious distress signal prompts him to enter a mystical dimension. 
Between interdimensional subway cars, expanding black-holes, and giants 
who weave the fabric of space-time, Or So It Would Seam will take 
audiences out of this galaxy to contemplate the intricate and unexpected 
ways we are all connected to one another. Filled to the brim with giant 
puppets, original storytelling, and live music, Or So features a cast of 
13 performers/musicians - and you, the audience!
