American Tall Tales

Step right up for Doctor Bigelow’s Wild West Puppet Show, a rollicking traveling medicine show bursting with music, marvels, and mighty American legends!

From the back of a rickety wagon, the charismatic Doctor Bigelow and his troupe of musicians and puppeteers roll into town with stories too big for an ordinary stage. Using hand and rod puppets, shadow play, and larger-than-life body puppets, they bring America’s tallest tales vividly to life.

Meet Paul Bunyan and Babe the Blue Ox as they fell forests with a single swing. Watch Pecos Bill ride a tornado across the prairie. Cheer on John Henry as he races the steam drill in a test of strength and spirit. And discover how Sally Cato proves that quick thinking can triumph over even the fiercest foe.

Driven by live music and brimming with imagination, American Tall Tales is a foot-stomping, whirlwind celebration of the stories that shaped a nation.
