Glass Half Full Theatre

Description

Glass Half Full Theatre was lauded by the Austin-American Statesman for an ‘inventive blend of puppetry and physical storytelling that employs gestures and expressions in tandem with props and sets to convey the narrative along with a variety of puppetry techniques.’ Based in Austin, Texas, the company reflects the state’s multicultural heritage and creates original bilingual (Spanish/ English) works for youth and adults. Glass Half Full is known for their ‘precise, engaging, and humorous’ approach to real world issues that enable audiences to experience complex ideas and imaginative solutions. Their original works (including Cenicienta: A Bilingual Cinderella Story, Petra and the Wolf, Once There Were Six Seasons) have toured to more than 30 states across the nation. Current touring shows include Lucha Libre in the Global Arena (for elementary/middle schools & youth theaters), La Maleta de Maebelle/Maebelle’s Suitcase (Theatrical venues, family audiences/kinder+), and Climate Refuge Walkabout Puppets, (public outdoor events/all ages).
