Here’s the epic tale of New York City’s water supply presented in the elemental beauty of mask & puppet theatre. This sequel to the company’s original 1999 production continues the story into the 21st century, revealing the ecosystem of the Catskill mountain forest and introducing a new generation of watershed stewards confronting the challenges of climate change and monumental infrastructure repair needed to keep the water clean.

The four-member cast brings to life dozens of puppet characters who, along with great live music, trace the journey of life’s quintessential liquid from mountain top to city tap. Youngsters and oldsters alike will find plenty of visual punch and timely wit in this 55 minute performance. The production is technically self- sufficient and can accommodate a wide range of venues.
