Why are there three prices?

We offer three ticket prices for YOU to choose from. Feeling abundant? Opt to pay full price. Times are lean? Choose our discounted price. Or go for the Goldilocks “just right” in the middle. You know your circumstances better than anyone.

If these price options still don’t work for you, check out our “Pay What You Can” ticket program. This initiative removes financial barriers, making it possible for all folks to enjoy select shows and programs year round, at a price that’s right for them. Learn more here.

In a mythical America, Jimmy Jones reveals the stories and disappointments of his father in the middle of cornfields and legends. This follows the story of an unusual father.

Featuring masterful table-top puppetry, this Object Theatre piece was created in May 2016 by four actors during a Théâtre de la Pire Espèce collective laboratory devoted to short forms. The show has been loved and acclaimed by audiences and reviewers at several festivals in both Canada and France.

These public performances are part of the company’s two-week 2020 residency at Presentation House Theatre in which they provided workshops and mentorship for experienced local puppetry artists.
