Thistle Theater -- Auntie Lena’s African Stories

Last night we went to Thistle Theater to see Auntie Lena's African Stories.  Thistle is a puppet company based in Seattle.

I must say that it was very good and appropriate for the 3-10 crowd.

Thistle specializes in Bunraku-style puppetry.  In this style the puppeteers are dressed head to toe in black and so are "invisible".  It's very compelling.

We saw the performance at Sunset Hill Community Club in Ballard.  They do tour around the area.
