CANCELLED Pico and the Golden Lagoon

In a world made from imagination, reclaimed fabric, and found objects, Pico and the Golden Lagoon follows Pico, a curious young adventurer on a journey to uncover a glowing, mythical place — and along the way, she meets creatures, faces challenges, and discovers that nature has its own kind of magic.

With handmade puppets, a live musical score, and a message of wonder, courage, and environmental connection, this 45-minute performance enchants audiences both young and old while introducing themes of sustainability and the importance of forging new friendships.

“A joyful, handmade world full of lovable characters, live music, and recycled magic.”
