Sandglass Theater

Sandglass Theater will present Krystal Puppeteers’ "Tears by the River" at the 2022 Puppets in the Green Mountains: Roots & Wings international festival. This engagement is part of a three city tour with two dates in New England. "Tears by the River" is a story of a brave monkey, LIBENDI, who leaves his land after a great famine has killed many of his fellow monkeys. His adventurous "safari" takes him far off to a river where, after losing his energy from days of walking through valleys and mountains, deserts and barren land with no food and water, he dies beside the river before he can taste the life-giving water. Animals from the forest come to honor him by naming the river after Libendi. This prompts the "bigger" animals and "kings" of the jungle to be unhappy and jealous to the point of doing crazy things to become famous as well. This show is for audiences of all ages and will be featured for our "all school" shows.
