Join us Saturday, Feb. 26, 3:30p at the Canal Shores Fire Pit for a live puppetry piece called: Where I’m From, starring Sam and James.

Samuel J. Lewis, II, wrote the puppetry piece and will perform live.

Sam is an accidental puppeteer who tries to create intentional work. He has worked for over a decade with a vintage Black Americana marionette, which he reimagined as the character, “Jus Hambone,” which confronts and challenges racist imagery of Black people. Currently, he’s working with his two sons, using a newly built rod puppet. A puppet representing his paternal grandfather, creating a long-form puppetry piece based on recently discovered family history, tentatively titled, Everybody Knew Their Place.
