The power of music and art!

Miss LaRae and Irie talk about how songs can be used to express when you’re feeling sad, mad, or happy 😃 At the Salish School of Spokane, the song they share is about a horse who expresses many different emotions!

They also show us how instruments can express those same emotions by playing them loud or really quiet 🤫 we are so grateful they shared this beautiful song with us in our latest episode, “Uniquely You” 🙌🏽

LL+L is looking for 100 "Season 3 Sustainers" by September 30 🎉
A recurring monthly gift of $50 or more is the best way to ensure we can focus more of our energy on producing inspiring children’s television, and less on fundraising. You can spread your donations across the year, with donations automatically processing on or around the same day each month. This can be set this up with a credit or debit card, or have it debited directly from your checking account via an Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT). Many employers, such as Microsoft and Starbucks, even allow you to give monthly gifts directly from your paycheck. Sign-up and spread the word to your community of family, friends, neighbors, or co-workers!

Help LL+L reach this goal and become a Season Sustainer now👏🏽

New episode!

Have you ever listened with your heart ♥️

In our newest episode Miss Zenith and Amaya read Gabi Garcia's book "Listening With My Heart". This book tells the story of a girl who finds a heart shaped rock that reminds her how important love and kindness are. Two very important things we can remind ourselves and spread into the world. What are some ways you can spread love and kindness into the world?

It's just as important to share some of that love and kindness with yourself when things go wrong or you make a mistake. So next time things don't go as planned remember to show yourself the love and kindness you deserve 😊Check out our latest episode airing this Sunday

Our Story

- Thistle Theatre, based in Seattle, is a non-profit organization dedicated to creating unique and diverse puppet theatre productions for the entire family. Founded in 1991, by Jean Enticknap, Thistle Theatre is the only puppet theatre in the Pacific Northwest that specializes in a distinctive variation of Bunraku, an ancient style of puppetry from Japan. Beautifully hand-crafted puppets come to life in original productions and adaptations of folk tales from around the world. Dressed all in black, two or three puppeteers work together to operate one puppet emphasizing the realistic movement and emotion of the character, the primary characteristic of Bunraku puppetry. The diversity of the theatre’s repertoire represents our commitment to providing a range of social and cultural works that both educate and offer rich entertainment. We currently have 25 shows that include traditional and contemporary fairy and folk stories from around the world including Africa, Denmark, Japan, Korea, Mexico, Russia, UK and the USA. Created with careful attention to historical accuracy, each show features hand built puppets, colorful costumes, original music and creative sets. Call (206) 524-3388 to reserve tickets!
