TARA'S STORY:
THE BIRTH OF THE UNIVERSE
Come see Tara and all of her beautiful children come to life in this colorful story filled with puppets of all kinds. Based on a sacred Tibetan myth, Tara, the beloved Mother Goddess of the Universe, lives in a vast, dark space. All alone, she begins to think of her children: about how much she misses them...about how much she loves them. So Tara begins to call out into the darkness. As she calls, she begins to dance--
setting the Universe and all its amazing life into motion.  With original score by Paul Von Mertens, this magical creation myth embraces the love of life and our remarkable universe.
THE LION AND THE MOUSE:
