Jacob Berkowitz is astronomy Professor Kepler in this 30-minute, interactive, theatrical-style puppet show that will take you out-of-this-world. Ambrosia the alien is lost, and needs your help to find her way home. How hard can this be? There are only eight planets in our Solar System. But, Ambrosia isn’t from our Solar System. She’s from an exoplanet—an amazing planet around another star. Join the search for an alien Earth and help this ET go home!

With fun and laughter, the show introduces audiences to the present-day search for exoplanets, and particularly another living, Earth-like planet. The show is based on Jacob Berkowitz’ book Out of This World: The Amazing Search for an Alien Earth (Kids Can Press, 2009)

The puppet Ambrosia was built by master puppet maker and former Fraggle Rock puppeteer Trish Leeper. The show was recently performed at the Puppets Up! International Puppet Festival.
