The Secret Life of Scarecrows: Live Shadow Puppet Performance
Under the autumn moon, scarecrows come to life and make mischief in the Garden. Using the magic of shadow puppetry, vintage overhead projectors, and live music, the award-winning cast of Hit the Lights! Theater Co. weaves an enchanting story of scarecrows that awaken on Halloween night. The 10-minute live performance is presented several times throughout the evening. After the performance, head down the Mitsubishi Wetland Trail, where the story continues with an immersive sound installation featuring the sounds of nocturnal forest friends.
