Thistle Theatre, a puppet theatre for families, will donate 25 percent of ticket sales for Momotaro the Peach Boy to the Japanese disaster relief effort through Mercy Corp and their partner Peace Winds-Japan. Bunraku-style puppets and origami puppets are combined to tell this exciting Japanese folk story.

Momotaro is the most popular children’s story in Japan. Momotaro, a young boy who magically emerges from a peach, bands together with a dog, a monkey and a pheasant to defeat the Onis (demons) who have been terrorizing his village.

Momotaro will be performed at the Sunset Hill Community Club (3003 NW 66th Street) on March 25th at 7:30p.m. and March 26th and 27th at 1:00p.m. and 3:00 p.m.

Tickets are $7 for children and seniors and $9 for General Admission.
