Featuring the Hudson Vagabond Puppets

Mammoth Follies explores the wonders of evolution in an old-fashioned revue of original songs, witty jokes and earth-smashing dances performed by giant dinosaur puppets.  This program will dramatize historic and scientific facts (as well as some myths) about the great age of the dinosaur.

Enormous puppets poopulate the stage, including your host Willie Mammoth, Smiley the Saber-Toothed Tiger, Bessie the 27-foot long Apatosaurus, Tony and Trixie Triceratops, Terry the Pterodactyl, and the 11-foot tall T. Rex in a musical trip through pre-history.

Mammoth Follies is designed for grades K-4.  Curriculum connections include science natural history, and fine arts.  Study guides will be available for educators in advance of the show.  For information on how you or your students can attend Mammoth Follies free of charge, please call Terri Lee at 785-532-6425
