Below is our 2008-2009 Show Schedule. If you haven't experienced Thistle Theatre, we look forward to introducing your family or group to our family of fun and exciting characters.
Thistle Theatre is the only performing arts organization in the Pacific Northwest that specializes in Bunraku puppets, an ancient Japanese style of puppetry. The puppeteers, dressed head-to-toe in black to suggest invisibility, operate all of the character’s limbs by hand from behind.

In the Morinji temple in ancient Japan, a monk cleans up an old teakettle and places it on the fire when suddenly it sprouts a tail, a head and four legs of a Tanuki (a racoon like animal). Frightened by the strange transformation he sells the teakettle to a poor junk woman. She discovers it is a teakettle of good luck. Together they create a theatre where the “Magic Teakettle of Good Luck” entertains and delights audiences with tricks and the Cherry Blossom Dance.
