College Park Arts Exchange
Old Parish House, 4711 Knox Road, College Park MD

Blue Sky Puppet Theatre’s most charming and unusual show! This “Table Top” performance is a big stylistic departure from the rod puppets behind a tall curtain that we’re famous for. This 35 minute presentation is an intimate show that is performed Bunraku style on a custom built table with the performer visible.

A jester named Ralph is off to see the King who Never Found Anything Funny Enough To Make Him Laugh. If Ralph can make the King laugh, he will gain fame and gold. Ralph makes camp outside the King’s castle, and while he’s asleep the King appears. Luckily, one of Ralph’s rag dolls comes to life and does a series of hilarious tricks, making the King roar with laughter!

The AHA Kids Series is appropriate for ages 3 and 8 with their parents. This show is FREE and open to the public — Your generous donation to College Park Arts Exchange is always appreciated!
