Polak will perform her latest Sova Theater solo work, Tales that Only
Look Tall, which is a collection of true stories about bizarre and
beautiful encounters
with wild animals through the seasons in rural CT. Her stories combine
original dance, eclectic live music & sounds with handmade masks and
puppets by fine artist and sculptor Justin
Perlman. This event is perfect for all ages and the whole family.
From 1:30 to 2:00pm, pre-show activities will help prepare the
audience for the program. The show runs for 45 minutes, ending at 2:45.
