A Night with the Artists: My Night in the Planetarium

How do we talk with children about social justice?

How do you transform a personal story into a children’s book, and a children’s book into a puppet show?

Can a puppet show help us make sense of difficulty, colonialism, dictatorship, and dissent?

Join us for an intimate conversation with the creative team of My Night in the Planetarium — Tanya Nixon-Silberg, Innosanto Nagara, Sarah Nolen, and Roxanna Myhrum — hosted by Puppet Showplace Theater’s Executive Artistic Director Veronica Barron and Visiting Artistic Associate Ash Winkfield.

This online conversation is free to attend, with a suggested contribution of $5-25 to support Puppet Showplace Theater’s New Works programs:

The Incubator has launched 18 world premieres in 11 years — including My Night in the Planetarium — reaching tens of thousands of audience members in half a dozen countries.

The Creative Residency for Black Puppeteers has invested in new works by 20 Black creators with the goal of building community and support for new works at their earliest stages.
