The Paddling Puppeteers have been performing their musical puppet shows across Canada since 1999. A variety of colourful puppets bring to life many stories having to do with the environment. The shows present ideas of how we can take simple steps to preserve and restore Canada’s natural heritage. During March of the Museums the Paddling Puppeteers will be performing The Big History Mystery followed by a puppet making workshop at various
participating sites!
The Big History Mystery
One day Glen discovers a fossil and is hooked. From that day he continues to look for local fossils. With the help of a time machine Glen travels back through many geological eras and meet the fossils when they where alive. Glen also finds an arrow head and travels back to pre contact Michi Saagiig Anishnaabeg times. At the end of the show Glen travels to the future by mistake. What does the future look like? Its awesome but you will have to see the show to find out!
*This show was developed in partnership with Michi Saagiig Elder Dorothy Taylor
