    Monster mash at EL Puppetry Project presentation

    East Lyme puppetry (Contributed)

    Life is a circus!

    And in the circus featured in a new puppetry show, the main acts are monsters — but friendly ones.

    The star attractions include Eustice the Unicycling Unimonster, a Fiery Fanged Worm, and Agnes the Many-legged Acropod.

    Their human caretaker will teach them new tricks during CactusHead Puppets’ Magnificent Monster Circus, which will be staged Sunday afternoon in the Niantic Center School gym.

    The production is presented by The East Lyme Puppetry Project, whose mission is to promote cultural literacy and academic achievement in children and their families through puppetry and to bring more puppet arts to southeast Connecticut.

    An interactive Q&A will follow the 40-minute show.

    CactusHead Puppets’ Magnificent Monster Circus, 2 p.m. Sunday, Niantic Center School, 7 West Main St., Niantic; $7 cash or check; ELPPI.org.
