The Petra and Mo Show tells a story about being together and saying goodbye through puppetry, live music, and a little help from the audience.

The show was created by Andrew Simon + developed in partnership with Barn Arts.

Since 2019, The Petra and Mo Show has been performed for audiences of all ages and toured to schools, camps, playgrounds, libraries, and parks in coastal Maine.

The production is available for public performances and private events.

  • "The Petra and Mo Show transports you to another world, yet it is deeply relatable at the same time. You become a part of the story."

    Jasmine, Educator

  • "I liked the dancing and I liked how Petra was so kind to help Mo into the tree."

    Vivi, Age 8

  • "The show is deeply engaging for all ages. The power of friendship and saying goodbye is something we all experience."

    Michael, Age 60

  • "I loved drawing my memory leaf and having it be part of the show. I also thought Mo was very funny!"

    Lucia, Age 10

  • "The story of Petra and Mo explores the human condition in a light and meaningful way that will make you laugh and cry. It is brilliantly crafted."

    Jasmine, Educator

  • "My favorite part was when Petra was eating the leaves on Mo's tree. You should see it because Petra and Mo were so strong together and they figured out that their friendship was forever."

    Isla, Age 6

  • “I was blown away by The Petra and Mo Show. The story was hilarious and beyond heartwarming. The show invited kids to think and feel on big topics while also being so silly. It's such a treasure.”
