The Uncorker of Ocean Bottles
Adapted by Melissa Pfeiffer-Lampl and Andrew J. Lampl from the book by Michelle Cuevas illustrated by Erin E. Stead

One day the lonely Uncorker opens a party invitation - but there's no name attached. The Uncorker of Ocean Bottles puts audience members at the center of this heartwarming mystery leading us all to a celebration of friendship and community.
Lindsey Keller, Macaroni Kid
“If you have the opportunity to take your kids and family to see The Uncorker of Ocean Bottles, do it!... When we left, I asked my daughter if she had fun and I got a resounding yes! and when she woke up the next morning, she asked if we could go see the show again.”
