About the Show


One day, Sylvie and her family of homespun creatures suddenly find themselves in need of a new home.  Luckily, they have an audience full of people who can help them out.

Go Home Tiny Monster features The Gottabees’ trademark mix of puppetry, joyously absurd silliness, physical theater, live music, and surprising poignancy.

About the Artist


The Gottabees started making super fun theater for families in 2013. They regularly sell out venues, inhabit computer screens, and inspire homemade puppet shows throughout the US, Canada, and beyond. They aim to inspire community, connection, and autonomy by providing an outlet for families to giggle, gasp, sigh, and cheer in forty-five minutes or less. The Gottabees' stories reflect children's everyday aspirations, concerns, and emotional experiences.

​​We want children to know in their hearts that they, too, can make theater wherever they are and whomever they are.

The Gottabees’ work has been performed in 19 states, 5 countries, for over 45,000 people and was awarded an UNIMA-USA Citation of Excellence. Their projects have been funded by the Jim Henson Foundation, Puppeteers of America, USArtists International, Boston Cultural Council, and the Boston Foundation.


The show was generously supported by Puppet Showplace Theater’s Incubator program, is a recipient of a 2018 Jim Henson Foundation Family Grant, was developed in part at the Charlestown Working Theater, and was also developed in part at the National Puppetry Conference at The Eugene O'Neill Theater Center. This piece was created in part at The Yard, an artist residency and performance center dedicated to contemporary dance, theater, and related arts, as part of the 2017 Off-Shore Creation Residency.
