With an astonishing array of video imagery and a frenetic assortment of equipment, the legendary theater pioneers of The Wooster Group transform OZ into a sort of mad scientist’s laboratory for their latest “deliriously trippy” production.

Inspired by String City: Nashville’s Tradition of Music and Puppetry, participants can make their own puppet and put on a show with new friends. Materials are provided. (All ages)

Participants can bow a fiddle, pluck a banjo and strum a ukulele. The Musical Instrument Petting Zoo offers budding musicians a chance to try new and familiar instruments.
