Join Madcap Puppets' Adventure At The Library
Dare to enter the world of "once upon a time" with Alvis and Sydney, two kids attempting to unlock the secrets of their uncle's mysterious clock shop.
Each time they climb through his magical grandfather clock, they are swept away to a land of exciting stories like "The Frog Prince" (Germany), "Sanji and the Tiger" (India) and "The Feathered Ogre" (Italy) - each more heart-pounding than the last. But these adventures may trap them in the clock forever. Can they escape? Not without help from the audience.
