About

The Puppet Theatre Barge returns to Richmond riverside for a season of magical puppet shows.

My Shadow and Me by Drew Colby is like a cartoon created live out of nothing but darkness and light. One person (and his shadow) meet and go on an incredible, imaginative, shadowy journey where creatures emerge, engage and transform beautifully. The show uses minimal language in combination with unusual interpretations of classical music and non-verbal voice effects. The show has toured to Turkey, India, Switzerland, Chile, Portugal, Malaysia, Italy, Russia, South Korea and Albania.
