We never miss an Oregon Shadow Theatre show if we can help it. Despite being based in Portland, their shows often take them to different parts of the Pacific Northwest. They recently performed "Pecos Bill", which featured tall tales from the American west. Their shows are a delightful mixture of exquisite visual effects, excellent voice acting, inventive music and sound effects, and a big dose of humor. They make a point of showing the kids what their handmade puppets and their instruments look like up close, and explaining how they do everything in the show. I can't resist sharing some pictures.
