Jun. 17th - 19th

Celebrate Juneteenth with us! Our theme is "Freedom's Legacy: Moving Forward." Reflecting on the African-American ties, we see the Eagle as a symbol of knowing your self-worth and valuing the concept of Know Thyself and Believe. 

Poet-Storyteller Oba William King returns to share insights, to uplift us and remind us of the history of Juneteenth. We will sing with him, learn from him, love his drum beats, and be inspired by him. He says, "In the process of learning we lose fear." Together in a family and community, we learn that we are stronger. By choosing pillars or goals of life to follow, we thrive and help each other together. Let the celebration begin!

Look for it by June 17th!

In celebration of the amazing animals that go through metamorphoses every year such as Monarch Butterflies, please join us for this special performance with Adelka Polak of Sova Puppet Theater!

"Marvelous Metamorphoses" is an interactive outdoor family performance that unravels to present the incredible transformations in our world like caterpillar to butterfly, polliwog to frog, and more through puppets, music, and dance! Adelka Polak's performance "Marvelous Metamorphoses" will engage audiences with the use of dance, music, puppetry, and mask-work to vividly portray characters and concepts told through movement, sound, and imagery in the story. We will journey through the life cycles of frogs, butterflies, and bees in this unique performance.

Puppets, costumes, and choreography were created by Adelka Polak, Kendra Garnett, and Justin Perlman, and the original music was created by Rick and Cynthia Quintanal.

Sova Dance and Puppet Theater celebrates humanity and the environment by engaging audiences through live performance, communicating that which cannot be described in words, making art accessible to communities around the globe. Sova mean "owl" in Slovak. www.sovatheater.com
