National Puppetry Festival: PACKRAT by Concrete Temple Theatre

  • The Clarice Smith Performing Arts Center @ UMD 8270 Alumni Drive College Park, MD, 20740 United States (map)

Set deep in the Sagebrush Desert, PACKRAT is a visually stunning puppet play that contemplates humanity’s relationship with the natural world. Puppetry, projections and an original score elegantly come together to shape what The New Times called, “a journey of rescue and redemption…Thoroughly mesmerizing … amazingly expressive.” Inspired by the classic adventure novel, “Watership Down,” PACKRAT follows one peculiar rodent, Bud, who has a penchant for hoarding humankind’s goods.
