Geppetto Dreams goblin show returns with a brand new revamped 30 minute show. Think the main hall in Henson's Labyrinth over run with vegetation and in disrepair. The whole things inhabited by some nasty little goblins, dragons, and fairy puppets. It’s an interactive show (sort of like the Enchanted Tiki Room with a pulse) so don’t just do the same old haunts this Halloween, come be part of the dream... Six PG shows a night Thursdays thru Saturdays and 2 G-rated matinee shows on Sunday Starting October 2nd and running until Halloween night. Seating is limited to 20 seats a show and tickets can be purchased in advance online starting Sept 25th at http://www.geppettodreams.com/goblins_are_coming.htm All proceeds benefit our non profit theater. Also Saturday Oct 4th's 6pm show get in free with 10.00 worth of canned goods for the Austin Food Bank.

      This 20-minute puppetry experience is a Halloween goody. Geppetto and friends present a goblins’ garden with fantastical creatures. A gnome bobs about, a dragon keeps hungry watch on spectators, and a wide-faced pirate teases us. With wonderful visual imagination, puppeteers show mastery both of Chinese- and Japanese-style puppetry techniques. Goblins underground make fun of us, speculate how tasty we’d be, sing cheery songs, bicker among themselves, and keep our attention moving around the magic space. Black light effects and strobe are used to good effect. The Sunday afternoon show, meant principally for kids, is done in full lighting. The performance space is a bit hidden. Park along Pedernales and then use the short alley just south of the Peacock Lounge. Geppetto himself will probably be there to greet you.
