Celebrate! with Leland Faulkner — World of Wonder

Stimulate your imagination through shadow-theater, illusion, and characters from around the world. Coming from an international background, Leland’s multi-cultural theatrical feast is a sophisticated, humorous, and accessible exploration of the possibilities of light and shadow to create a menagerie of silhouettes with only his hands.

The Celebrate! series, appropriate for family audiences and children ages 5 and up, highlights America’s rich cultural diversity through the arts. This program is tied directly to President and Mrs. Kennedy's concern for and support of the arts and culture in a democratic society. Thanks to generous support from the Martin Richard Foundation and the Mass Cultural Council all performances are free.
