Description
What iF Puppets' award-winning performance How to Snag a Sea Monster has the honor to be featured at the Midwest Trust Center from Oct. 7th to Oct. 10th. How to Snag a Sea Monster earned a 2022 Family Grant from Jim Henson as well as a 2025 UNIMA Citation of Excellence Award.
Join us for a one-of-a-kind nautical tale:
When a seaweed-covered creature washes ashore in the Cape Cod village of Barnacle Bay, the inhabitants fear the worst. Is it a sea monster in their midst? No, it's a baby as big as a house! The villagers adopt the giant baby, whom they name Stormalong…or Stormy for short. Growing over 24 feet tall, Stormy struggles to fit in and chooses a life aboard a merchant ship to find his place in the world. Meanwhile, a REAL sea monster torments the villagers and only Stormy is big enough to save them all!
