Show Information
When little Shizu hides in her Otosan’s suitcase and and secretly travels to his most dangerous destination, The North, her presence is a big surprise and an even bigger nuisance to her gruff, no-nonsense father. Facing snowy owls, white wolves, and grizzly bears in the most remote of locations, Otosan and Shizu must learn to tackle challenges together, eventually learning how to communicate their love. Inspired by co-creator Shizuka Kai’s real-life experience with her father, a wildlife videographer, Otosan is a beautifully told story that uses puppetry, real wildlife projections, and an original score to take the audience on an immersive journey.
Winner of four 2025 Jessie Richardson Awards including Outstanding Production (TYA)
