Fun, unique glow-in-the-dark puppet show coming to the Orpheum Theater!
John Tartaglia’s ImaginOcean is a black-light puppet show tailored toward children in pre-school through third grade and packed with music ranging from swing to R&B to Big Band.
A magical undersea adventure, ImaginOcean follows three best friends – Tank, Bubbles and Dorsel – as they set out on a journey of discovery. It all starts with a treasure map. As they swim off in search of clues, they’ll sing, they’ll dance and they’ll make new friends, including everyone in the audience. Ultimately, they discover the greatest treasure of all: Friendship.
