Truck Rest

For some visitors, and for a lot of locals, too, San Diego is a quintessential beach town. It’s a place to come and relax, enjoying all the things that the sand and the sun can offer. Excellent restaurants and top San Diego hotels are part and parcel of the rich scene. Its rather stunning weather offers a temperate place throughout the year, and sometimes it rains, but that’s a good time to see puppet shows.

Although it’s not in the common vocabulary for most adults to think about puppet theatre as an option, it should be. With the work of the local Animal Cracker Conspiracy , the art is raised to new levels. They achieve something that few puppet theaters in the US can do, and reinvent a Latin, Asian, and European tradition on this side of the Pacific in a delightful manner.

They’ve been able to captivate audiences of all ages, and have gotten a great critical reception as well. Lynette Jennings and Dori Smith , two of the group’s leading members, have street credibility along with academic and professional knowledge, that informs all that they do. The shows are often told with shadow puppets, which is a particularly compelling form that is like entering into another world. They also do lots of late night puppet work, so that the adults can enjoy it as much as the kids do.
