Spookley the Square Pumpkin journeys into our Hopkins Jaycees Studio just in time for autumn! When Spookley arrives in the pumpkin patch he is teased by all the other pumpkins because of his odd shape. Even after his new friends—the boisterous spiders Edgar, Allen and Poe—try to convince him to run for the Pick of the Patch contest, Spookley still isn’t sure he has what it takes. However, a threatening storm may just give Spookley the inspiration to discover his own worth. This puppetry extravaganza filled with memorable characters and music may just encourage you to “dare to be square!”
