Up In Arms Puppets presents
Monster Intelligence
Saturday April 18, 2026 at 11AM
All seats $10.00
Melvin the Monster is another year older, but he's still not old enough to earn his license to scream. Determined to change that, Melvin makes a birthday wish that sets him off on a quest, joined by his loyal friend, Red the Rat. Along the way, he encounters a vibrant cast of friendly and colorful monsters. With original songs spanning rock, classical, jazz, pop, and Broadway standards, this unforgettable adventure promises to delight audiences of all ages. Presented by Hudson Valley's own Up In Arms puppet company, this one-of-a-kind family musical is packed with humor, heart, and inspiration.
This show is approximately 60 minutes long.
