Creative Works To Stage Sock Puppet Show

Creative Works of Lancaster will present "Jaws to the World: A Holiday Sock Opera," a musical sock puppet parody of the movie "Jaws," on Friday, Dec. 9, at Zoetropolis Cinema Stillhouse, 112 N. Water St., with performances at 6, 8 and 10 p.m.

On hiatus since "Sock Puppet Star Wars: The Skywalker Sock-a," in December 2018, the Creative Works sock puppets will go back in the water 10 years after the premiere of "Jaws to the World: A Holiday Sock Opera" in 2012 at the Lancaster Dispensing Company.

"Jaws to the World: A Holiday Sock Opera" will include singing sharks and cardboard boats as five actor-puppeteers wield a cast of more than 30 custom-designed, handmade sock puppets. Originally written by playwright and former Creative Works board member Erich Goldstein, the script has been newly updated and refreshed with Erich's blessing by current board member Alexander Bannon. Musical director Joshua Schwartz from the original production will return to lead the cast's performances of rock and pop music and Christmas carols.
