Don't Make Me Get Dressed by the Gottabees at Ballard Institute of Puppetry

For every child who has struggled to get into their clothes first thing in the morning (and for every parent who has fought valiantly in the battleground of the morning routine), comes Don't Make Me Get Dressed – a gloriously silly and inventive ode to the feelings we have when we choose our clothes…and to what happens when our clothes come to life and choose us.
Don’t Make Me Get Dressed features The Gottabees’ trademark mix of puppetry, joyously absurd silliness, physical theater, live music, and surprising poignancy.
Recommended for ages 3+. Runtime is approximately 35 minutes plus a question-and-answer session. The Gottabees are passionate about community, family joy, and empowerment and have been guiding families through stage performances, interactive experiences, and audio adventures since 2013.
The Gottabees have performed in 19 states, 5 countries, for over 45,000 people and were awarded a UNIMA-USA Citation of Excellence. Their projects have been funded by the Jim Henson Foundation, Puppeteers of America, US Artists International, and the Boston Foundation.
