Through the Narrows

How do you find the next step forward in life’s narrow places?

Z Puppets Rosenschnoz presents 3 performances of "Through the Narrows," an enchanting tale intertwining Cherokee and Jewish history into a story of hope.

Follow Chootch, a 6-year old Cherokee boy as he bears witness to the Trail of Tears and Elli, a 3500- year old Jewish woman, as she recounts the crossing of the Red Sea. Through puppetry and live music, slide across continents and centuries as they travel from struggle to triumph.

After the 1-hour performance, the artists invite the audience to make simple miniature figures to take home and call on for strength in hard times.

The Jim Henson Foundation awarded "Through the Narrows" with a Family Theater Grant in 2021.
