Little Chucky heads to the Wild West to outwit outlaws in the cowboy adventure The Legend of the Banana Kid, to be presented by the Frogtown Mountain Puppeteers on Saturday, Jan. 4 at 11 a.m. at the Strand Theatre in Rockland. With a fistful of bananas, Chucky rides into town on his trusty goat for a showdown with Big Bart and his band of bandits.

 As part of the Strand Family Series, admission to this show is “pay-what-you-can.” Ticket prices are set at $20, $10, $5, or $0 per person, so that cost is not a barrier to attend.

“The Legend of the Banana Kid” features 20 hand-crafted glove, mouth and rod puppets; and a slew of flying and twirling Styrofoam bananas. Show length is approximately 45 minutes.
