Lilypad Puppet Theatre produces an annual Crankie Cabaret in the Fall. We bring together artists, puppeteers, storytellers & musicians for this fabulous weekend variety show.
Crankie Cabaret 2020 is unfortunately cancelled due to COVID. But pals, when we can safely crank again – it will be awesome. π
See what we’ve been up to in the last few years:
What is a crankie? βA crankie is an old storytelling art form. Itβs a long illustrated scroll that is wound onto two spools. The spools are loaded into a box which has a viewing screen. The scroll is hand-cranked while the story is told. It can be accompanied by a narrative, song or tune.β
