Here’s a great reason for you to bring your kids to Bindlestiff!

Filipino American puppeteer Ramon Abad is directing a live, indoor stage show specifically designed for families and kids 5 years-old and older called “Pickles! The Bindlestiff Kid Show”. Presented by the Asian Pacific Islander Cultural Center (APICC) as part of the 25th annual United States of Asian America Festival (USAAF) this will be the first kids show at Bindlestiff Studio that will be performed entirely with puppets!

Ramon has commissioned three young kids to write original stories that a cast of Bindlestiff artists and puppeteers will bring to life. The playwrights are the children of past Bindlestiff artists Nina and Dino Ignacio, Bernie Rosquites and Eunice Nuval. Their kids have shown a natural talent for storytelling! This show hopes to engage Bay Area children to the diverse culture and history that Bindlestiff offers and of encouraging a new generation of future theater artists…which seeks to advance the central theme of USAAF 2022’s “Generation of Power”.
