Glass Half Full Theatre

Glass Half Full Theatre was lauded by the Austin-American Statesman for an "inventive blend of puppetry and physical storytelling . . 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, and La Maleta de Maebelle) have toured to Performing Arts Centers in over 30 states, from the Kennedy Center in D.C. to the Seagerstrom in Southern California. Current touring shows for theatrical venues include Maebelle's Suitcase/ La Maleta de Maebelle/ (family audiences/ kinder and up) and Yamel Cucuy (Theatrical venues, thriller for adult and teen audiences). Touring shows for smaller venues/libraries/schools include "Natura Lista," a traveling naturalist accompanied by complex animal puppets, and for public/outdoor events, a luminary puppet experience, "The Serpents Fly at Sundown."
