The Ballard Institute and Museum of Puppetry at the University of Connecticut presents a special performance of Not My Grandmother’s Daughter by UConn Puppet Arts MFA candidate Harley Brooke Walker on Thursday, July 24 at 7 p.m. The show will take place at the Ballard Institute, located at 1 Royce Circle in Downtown Storrs. This will be a preview presentation before their run at the 2025 Edinburgh Fringe Festival in August.  

Not My Grandmother’s Daughter is a newly revised work that explores the relationship a young woman has with her mother through the relationship she has with her grandmother. She interconnects the history of their hands through generations with the help of shadow, sound, and paper mâché. A love letter through time. The runtime of the show is approximately 45 minutes. Recommended for ages 15+.  

This will be a free performance with no reservation required. Donations to the museum are greatly appreciated! Doors will open at 6:45 p.m. Visitors can park in the Downtown Storrs Garage located at 33 Royce Circle.
