‘The Sure Sheep’ Film

(7 minutes, 2008)

Tad, the youngest sheep on Handley Sheep Farm, dreams of playing his banjo with others but the older Sure Sheep won't let him because they want all of the attention.  When Tad gets his big break performing in a TV commercial he has all the sheep join him and the whole flock rocks.

Spend the day with Discovery Theater! 

You can also purchase tickets to Handmade Puppet Dreams, a showing of child-friendly puppet films, before the workshop.  Please CLICK HERE for more information or to buy tickets.
