Event Details

This bilingual adaptation of a beloved Reading Rainbow picture book, Maebelle’s Suitcase, features a two-person cast with various styles of puppetry and Colombian music. The story follows Maebelle, an incredible hat maker who’s been working hard ahead of the town’s annual hat contest. Maebelle befriends Binkle, a bird with a migration dilemma – his packing items are too large and heavy to carry with him! Through laughter and tears, Maebelle and Binkle help each other discover the beauty of remembrance and the liberating power of letting go. Multigenerational audiences will love this enchanting tale celebrating friendship, cultural heritage, and the universal lessons found within the stories of our lives. La Maleta de Maebelle is produced by Glass Half Full Theatre.
