POPPYCOCK MARIONETTE SHOWS
Current Show in Production- May 17, 2026
Playin’ Possum is a whimsical, nature-based puppet show that follows a thoughtful young observer and an unlikely hero: a scrappy, clever opossum navigating a human world that has gotten him all wrong. As townsfolk jump to loud conclusions and animals quietly react in their own ways, the story unfolds through physical comedy, visual storytelling, and moments of gentle truth.
What begins as a series of misunderstandings becomes a lesson in patience, perception, and survival, revealing that “playing possum” isn’t about giving up—it’s about knowing when to stay still, when to act, and when to let the noise pass by. The show blends humor with natural history, inviting audiences of all ages to laugh, learn, and look twice at the creatures living right beside them.
