Wishing Chair Puppet Show Storytime

Join Library Pete, Dr. Ev, and Mr. B for an entertaining morning filled with puppet performances, singing, juggling, and story time. This beloved Nashville tradition features multiple shows throughout the morning, giving families the chance to catch their favorite performance time. The shows take place in the Children's Theater at the downtown Nashville Public Library, creating an intimate setting perfect for young audiences. This free event welcomes babies, toddlers, and little kids. With three different show times available during the morning window, you can choose the slot that works best for your family's schedule. The Wishing Chair has a rich history in Nashville—the puppet tradition dates back to 1938—so you're sharing in a decades-long community tradition. If you can't make it in person, puppet shows are also available to stream online.
