The Eulenspiegel Puppet Theatre Company will present three showings of “Nacho & Yoyo’s Escapades” on Thursday, April 3, 2025, in the Salsbury Room at the MacNider Art Museum at 10 am, 1 pm, and 6 pm. All shows will be free and open to the public. Seating is first-come, first-served. Doors will open for seating 15 minutes before each show. This free show is made possible by a grant from the Bertha Stebens Charitable Foundation. Masks are optional.

“Nacho & Yoyo’s Escapades”s, a bilingual English/Spanish show, takes elements of Iowa City’s barrio history mixed with large doses of fantasy to create an original story detailing the adventures of a chihuahua and an escaped circus monkey. The show includes original songs and a two-part kazoo band!

Lupita and her brother, Juanito, get up early and take their pet chihuahua along to watch the circus train come into town. Yoyo the monkey jumps off the train, and he and Nacho, the chihuahua, run off together.

What kind of mischief will they get into?
Will the children find them?
Will they make Yoyo go back to the circus?
Watch, sing along, and see what happens when they get to Ralston Creek!

Groups of 10 or more (schools, home school groups, daycare, etc.) should register in advance for the 10 am & 1 pm shows by calling 641-421-3666 or emailing jmbohl@masoncity.net. Schools are eligible for a bus subsidy while funds last.
