Shadow Puppets, Sally Timms and "Jabberwocky" Sunday at Hideout

’Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe;
All mimsy were the borogoves,
And the mome raths outgrabe.
-Lewis Carroll, "Jabberwocky"
Back in June, a group of musicians, artists and puppeteers staged a shadow puppet show at Three Brothers Arts Garage. The centerpiece of the show was a mesmerizing performance of "Jabberwocky," Lewis Carrol's classic poem of nonsense that added such words as "galumphing," "uffish" and "chortle" to the English language canon. The complete spectacle was brought to life in arresting visuals and the haunting narration of Sally Timms.
The principals are all reuniting for a winter shadow puppet show at hideout this Sunday at 3 p.m. If you're looking for an all-ages show for the kids that doesn't include having to find parking and dressing up for downtown, this could right up your alley. Kids get free admission for the show, while adults pay $8 or whatever you can afford. If you want to buy tickets in advance (probably recommended), click here.
