Zizzies! And a Shampoo River.
Step into Rootabaga Country, where wit and whimsy ride the Zigzag Railroad and wordplay floats as high as Hot Balloons with his Pigeon Daughters. This three-person adaptation of Carl Sandburg’s classic Rootabaga Stories brings to life the Potato Face Blind Man and two irrepressible Zizzies, weaving together Rag Bag Nanny and other timeless tales in a kaleidoscope of laughter, lyricism, and gentle nostalgia. With Sandburg’s playful prose as its compass, the show is a throwback to a kinder, quirkier America—where imagination reigns supreme and every twist of language is a ticket to delight.
“Sandburg’s Rootabaga sparkles in playful children’s theatre.”
“Carl Sandburg’s whimsy reborn for young audiences.”
“Children’s theatre rides Sandburg’s Zigzag imagination.”
“Sandburg’s stories skip, sing, and delight kids.”
