St. Paul – Summer on the Lawn: Children’s Puppet Show!

Roll up to MHC as Summer on the Lawn continues with a fantastic, family-friendly puppet show! Open Eye Theatre’s Driveway Tour presents “Jeremy & The Giant King,” an all-new production featuring two brothers, a storybook realm with many amazing residents, and oh yes, one Giant King causing trouble! Open Eye performers will remain after the show to give curious kids and adults a behind-the-scenes peek and a closer look at the featured puppets.

Please note that this event will be outdoors, weather permitting. MHC will provide light refreshments during the event. Picnics, lawn chairs, and blankets are welcome. The performance will be in an area with some shading, but audience members should expect exposure to the sun. Please plan accordingly. Restrooms will be available for use at the Minnesota Humanities Event Center. In case of inclement weather, the performances will be moved indoors to the Minnesota Humanities Event Center.
