Fras: Všechno nejlepší

If anyone looked around today and was lucky, they might see three incredibly special events: who is celebrating a birthday today? There are many people celebrating, and each celebration deserves its own personal story. What if, on one particular day, there are seals celebrating on the beach, a mafia daughter in the garden of an Italian villa, and a termite queen under the ground? Come celebrate the triple birthday and wish the celebrants a Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday is a celebration of three birthdays. Three short stories written by three members of the writing team. Three sets of different puppets Each short story uses different puppets and different approaches. But they all use the same materials. Come see and celebrate a birthday with us!
