    Created and performed by Z Puppets Rosenschnoz

    Dagsi Turtle & his sidekick Jisdu Wabbit race through time and space to bring you a new musical adventure into the Cherokee language. Hop aboard the Turtleship and join Dagsi and Jisdu's quest to keep alive this endangered Indigenous language, featuring catchy original tunes and out-of-this-world puppet characters. Created and performed by Cherokee Nation citizen Chris Griffith and Shari Aronson, directed by Julie Boada (Anishinabe).

    Tales is an Awardee of a 2025 Jim Henson Foundation Family Theater Grant.
