Billy The Liar: A High Energy Puppetry Farce for Kids of All Ages!
Billy is a Liar! Follow Billy and his friend Suzy as he tells more and more lies and get into more and more TROUBLE! Learn new vocabulary and life lessons! Plus Ponies! Told through the use of Czech style rod marionettes, toys, and over-sized toy theatre.
"Billy the Liar" was conceived by Keith Shubert of Toybox Theatre.

A prolific artist, Keith was most prominently featured this past year in the stylish alternative publication Glubdub - Tales From The Underground.

Warren Wilson Theater is proud to break into its spring season with a fast-paced spy comedy, The 39 Steps. An adventurous and hilarious thriller, The 39 Steps started as a World War 1 espionage novel by Scottish author John Buchan, then became Alfred Hitchcock’s classic 1935 thriller (followed by three further film adaptations) before finally being adapted for the stage, becoming a West End and then Broadway hit, nominated for Best Play and Best Direction at the Tony Awards. It’s a play that is sure to keep audiences guessing and laughing. From thriller to comedy, The 39 Steps manages to encompass lots of different elements and keeps people engaged and on the edge of their seats. Originally presented by four actors playing 150 characters, Warren Wilson’s production takes a different but equally imaginative tack. The play is known to make fun of its own story and challenges the actors to quickly adapt to different scenes and keep up with their roles. Warren Wilson Theater invites you to a show that has b
