Farm Story: Episodes 1 & 2
The UConn Puppet Arts Program and Ballard Institute and Museum of Puppetry present a screening of Farm Story: Episodes 1 & 2 by UConn Puppet Arts MFA candidate Tessa Beck Fey on Friday, April 24 at 7 p.m. in the Ballard Institute Theater, located at 1 Royce Circle in Downtown Storrs.
Farm Story is a marionette-based web series that follows Farmer Daisy and her unconventional friends through the ups and downs of daily life, and the occasional magical interference. When a Skull is discovered in an overwhelmed farmer's Scarecrow, her friends use the opportunity to magically reanimate the Skull for its friendship and free labor!
The runtime of the two screenings is approximately 30 minutes and then will be followed by a talkback. This film is recommended for ages 7+.
This screening is free to attend but seating is limited, so reservations are required. Reserve your seat here.
For more information about this event or if you require accommodation to attend, please contact Ballard Institute staff at 860-486-8580 or bimp@uconn.edu.
