Lost & Finding

Liminal Productions presents
Lost & Finding
An immersive, fantasy-comedy adventure (with puppets)
Written and directed by Emma Van Veen

“Didn’t you read the fine print? No free magic!”

Cassie Shore has unfulfilled dreams of becoming a successful comedian, achieving financial stability, and feeling worthy of the love of her girlfriend, Heather – but she’s about to have much bigger problems.

Little does she know, she’s about to fall through her pile of dirty laundry and into the world of Lost Things – a magical realm that’s filled with ridiculous creatures and danger lurking around every corner.

Swept up on a fantastical journey (brought to life with dozens of beautiful and bizarre puppets), Cassie is going to need the help of some unlikely allies – and maybe even you, the audience. Will she make her way back to reality with her dreams intact, and find what she was missing all along?

From multidisciplinary writer/director Emma Van Veen (Dumb Kids) and Liminal Productions (Too Human, Rhomboid), Lost & Finding is a story about reckoning with failure and learning how to find yourself again. With puppets, of course.
