It’s tough being small when the world is so big. Baby Tyler comes to life in this absurd and hilarious show from Jim Henson Company puppeteer Ingrid Hansen. She lends Tyler a hand and creates a live puppet film before your very eyes, using only household objects, a camera, and her bare hands. Expect a child friendly puppet show jam packed with physical comedy!

Ingrid Hansen also puppeteers for Sesame and Henson. She puppeteers Heart, a lovable orange monster on Sesame Workshop’s Emmy-Award-Winning series Helpsters. She also performs a magical talking rock and ‘Ma Gorg’ on Henson’s new Fraggle Rock reboot. Ingrid performs Melissa the Dog on the Emmy-Nominated series Miss Persona (TreehouseTV / AmazonPrime,) and even directed scenes with Canadian legend Fred Penner.

This performance will be accompanied with ASL interpretation from Becky Schirato.

“Utterly magical, insanely inventive, wickedly funny. ★★★★★” - Winnipeg Free Press.
