Hip Pocket Theatre is continuing its outdoor summer season of world premieres this week with the opening of The Island of Dr. Moreau from September 5 - 28.

Starting next week will be Hip Pocket's 4th Annual Cowtown Puppetry Festival from September 8 -21 that is free for all ages. Every afternoon and evening you can go out to the theatre and work with world reknown puppeteers from New York. Help build giant puppets and then participate in a performance with the puppets created by the puppeteers. The 4th Annual Puppet Pageant presents "Strings and Consequences" conducted by Erin Orr and Lake Simons with pre-show performances September 19-21 and Drive-In Shadow Play Theater - "Truffaut vs. Harryhausen: 10 Rounds of Sci-Fi Slack" with post-show performances September 19-21 conducted by Chris Green. Children and adults of all ages are invited to participate in the puppetry workshops.
