Love Beyond Reach

Love is close,
Love is far.
Love determines who we are.
Hopeful heart or jaded,
each seeks love.
Is love beyond its reach?

Freshwater Pearls Puppetry presents a puppet show for the heart ~ three stories, each driven by seemingly unattainable love. A snowman longs for the company of a potbellied stove. A goldfish nurtures her fondest aspiration ~ to become a ballerina. An ardent mouse risks everything for his sweetheart. All strive for love. Can they reach it?

Part 1: The Snowman's Wish

Based on a Hans Christian Andersen tale, The Snowman's Wish tells the story of a snowman who falls hopelessly in love with a pot-bellied stove. The Snowman's Wish is rich with emotion and symbolism. Like snow diamonds in the sun, Freshwater Pearls' production sparkles with the beauty of winter and of heart-melting love.

Part 3: The Ballad of Sticky Bun
