Nutshell Playhouse: Spy Jinks!

Three intrepid spies and a parrot named Taco are on their very first mission. They must rescue the intrepid Jolandalinda, who has been kidnapped and hidden on the Island of Very Bad Luck. Follow their adventures as they sink up to their belly buttons in quicksand, get unexpected help from a local llama, defy gravity, and a lot more silliness. Will they succeed? There’s only one way to find out! Come see the show!

Featuring puppets, masks, mime and live music, Spyjinks is a delight for all ages!
