The Joshua Show

Spend your afternoon with The Ambassador of Joy and award-winning puppeteer, Joshua Holden. Turn your frown upside down, awaken your nostalgia, and get ready to spread some joy. Joshua will tap dance his way across the stage and into your heart in this award-winning family show where even if you show up a sulky sourpuss, you’re sure to leave an Ambassador of Joy.

"Mr. Holden has dedicated his shows to lightening the mood of all in the theater, puppets and humans alike.” 
- The New York Times

“With his quirky handcrafted puppets and vaudevillian style, performer Joshua Holden feels like a throwback to another era. The self-declared Ambassador of Joy’s new family show aims to be an anecdote to our troubles times by celebrating individuality and friendship.”
