About the Show
Join "bona fide fairy princess" Charlotte Lily Gaspard for enchanting original fairytales, stories of the galaxies, and songs! Shadow puppetry breathes life into these delightful short stories of adventure and friendship.
Far away in a magical world where cats can talk and study dreams, Puccini the cat falls in love with his best friend, the Princess of the Dreamcats. But the rules of the land are already written and the King is very strict. What will Puccini and his Princess do in a world that will not allow them to be together?
A story of friendship, courage, forbidden love, and whimsy, this story is a confection of intricate silhouettes, handmade paper-cuts, storytelling, and music.
The show continues with more fantastical tales and songs from across the galaxy!

About the Artist
Midnight Radio Show is a multi-disciplinary collective based in Brooklyn. Using handmade shadow puppets, live performance, video content, and an actual radio show, they broadcast real magical love to children of all ages. MRS is headed up by Charlotte Lily Gaspard, the artistic director, singer, narrator, and a bona fide fairy princess. Resident composers Ezra Bloom, Sabrina Chap, Jessie Davis, and Doc Frost craft original scores and songs for the shadow puppet stories, live cabarets, and recordings.
Charlotte Lily Gaspard (Creator/Performer) has been described as “part celestial creature, part sophisticated human,” by Enchanted Living Magazine. Shadow puppet artist, storyteller, and a “multi-faceted enchantress... the fanciful mastermind behind Midnight Radio Show” (Broadway World), Charlotte’s mission is to activate imaginations and celebrate playfulness wherever she goes. Along with puppets, Charlotte also creates costumes for theater and film, and leads puppetry and theater workshops all over New York City, and beyond.
