Animated Objects

Thanks to the @calgaryherald for this great preview of the #AnimateYYC festival! You never know what surprises you might find around the next corner... @puppetflogger @WPPuppetTheatre #yyc

Over the next 10 days, we'll be infusing the city with pop-up moments of magic and whimsy, so “keep your eyes peeled. If you see something curious happening, it may well be a random pop-up performance.” calgaryherald.com/entertainment/…

There are so many stories that tie us together, and nothing can stop these puppets from bringing them to you! Join us for a whimsical selection of live and digital events for all ages, all month long. Visit puppetfestival.ca for more details. #animateyyc
