Questions, misunderstandings, and tricky situations pile up while four jungle animals (a monkey, a parrot, A python, and an elephant) wait for their friend Turtle. Original music sets the scene for these important questions (how does one measure a snake? why everyone should have a name?)
that lead to hilarious results.
 

“Banana for Turtle” is a set of vignettes that involve five animal friends—Monkey, Python, Parrot, Elephant and Turtle. Created in the style of classical marionette, performance speaks humorously to issues of early childhood. Visual perspectives of the world, confusion over obtuse language terms, means of measuring, social interactions that require polite behavior, physical activity and of course most important learning about the identity of self are concepts that children in preschool to early grades address regularly in their daily lives.

These five animals bring these problems to life in a gentle, engaging puppet drama.
