Wednesday On Main presents The Frogtown Mountain Puppeteers "The Legend of the Banana Kid"
Wednesday On Main's 2026 Season Begins with the usual wacky fun from Frogtown:
Little Chucky heads to the Wild West to outwit outlaws in this cowboy adventure! With a fistful of bananas, Chucky rides into town on his trusty goat for a showdown with Big Bad Bart and his gang of bandits. (*please note that there are no guns in the show).
“The Legend of the Banana Kid” features 20 hand-crafted glove, mouth and rod puppets, and a slew of flying and twirling styrofoam bananas.
Ages 4-94! This event is FREE!!! Donations always gratefully accepted.
