The International Puppet Theater Festival is welcoming hundreds of puppeteers from January 19-29. Founder and puppeteer of Jabberwocky Marionettes, a Chicago-based puppet theater, Lolly Extract and her daughter performed their own show at the Chicago Cultural Center. “Jabberwock” was a dragon in the book Alice in Wonderland, from which she named her theater “Jabberwocky”.
