Open Eye Figure Theatre presents Milly and Tillie
Apr 30, 2013

Open Eye Figure Theatre pulls out the stops with summer programming for families this year. In addition to over 100 puppet shows being presented in neighborhoods throughout the Twin Cities, Milly and Tillie will be presented at the theatre June 28 - July 21. Milly and Tillie will also be featured at the Guthrie Theater on June 23rd to help celebrate the
Guthrie's 50th Anniversary.

Milly and Tillie has been seen on the Open Eye stage in 2010 and 2011. Liz Schachterle and Elise Langer, the beloved, deftly matched duo of Milly and Tillie, created the show in collaboration with director Jason Ballweber and puppeteer Rachael Davies. The two performers inhabit these silly sisters with unbridled joy - the fun is infectious and delightful for children and parents of every generation.

A perennial favorite, the Silly Sisters start a normal day as flowers smell like being tickled and bicycles are ridden indoors. Interrupted by a phone call, the sisters are suddenly packing for a picnic, but things don't always go as planned and one silly mishap after another leads to a hysterical misadventure! Full of silly games, puppet surprises, and ice cream cones for all, it's the perfect summer fare for families!
