The biggest puppet theatre in Brno is coming to Cedar Rapids! Join us for a weekend of fun puppet shows fit for all ages, followed by workshops led by the cast and crew!

The oldest and biggest puppet theater in Brno is coming all the way from the Czech Republic to Cedar Rapids! The famous Radost Theatre will join us for two days to put on spectacular performances aimed for all audiences—both children and adults! There will be two performances on Friday and Saturday: an evening show and a morning show followed by a workshop that draws on the story of the previous performance. Friday’s performance is The Goat, an old Czech folktale reimagined with fun puppets and whimsical props that is best suited for a younger audience. Saturday’s performance is Buffalo Bill, a Czech perspective on the American dream and the Czech immigrants who longed for freedom, with sets and costumes inspired by old American Westerns.
