Puppet shows with Lady Rainbow use animal puppets to craft colorful spins on classic tales while her audience members supply the rainbow magic.

Lady Rainbow tries to cheer up her best friend, Rainbow Bear, when his grownups say they can’t play together in-person. Along the way, they learn about making phone calls and mailing letters, and children at home are invited to send a picture to Lady Rainbow and get a letter mailed back to them! The show ends by helping Rainbow Bear get ready for a cozy nap with a new version of an old story from The Brothers Grimm!
