UnCommon Stage

<h3>About the Show</h3>

Party Animals follows five furry friends as they navigate the biggest social hurdle of their young lives — throwing their first party! Meet a bunny with boundless energy, a sloth with social anxiety, a hedgehog wrestling with wrapping, and a skunk who's trying to keep everything cool and under control. Through song, dance, and original rock 'n' roll music by Boston local Phil Berman (of Puppet Playtime &amp; The Holiday Sing-Along), these little stars discover that music can be an exuberant and healthy way to express their inner selves. 
Party Animals comes from Sarah Nolen (of Puppet Motion) — creator of Judy Saves the Day and Lisa the Wise; and our beloved Resident Artist! The show balances silly antics with deeper truths, all conveyed through traditional hand puppetry performance: the life of the party!
Legendary rock star Pete Townshend once said, "Rock 'n' roll might not solve your problems, but it does let you dance all over them" — equally true for children and their grown-ups!
All ages welcome, especially enjoyed by ages 5 - 10 Hand puppetry Length: 40 minutes Language: English From Waltham, M<h3>This summer, we’re bringing puppetry to an outdoor location near you! </h3>
July 18 (Sat) 2026: 12:00 pm at Emerson College’s Stage at UnCommon Corner in the Boston Common, corner of Boylston Street &amp; Tremont Street (<a href="https://maps.app.goo.gl/qSoKsBEXnZaQ3kEB9" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">map)</a>
