The Joshua Show
2013-2023
Created, written, and performed by Joshua Holden, The Joshua Show was an award-winning family theatrical performance. Blending live original music, tap dancing, and puppetry together to evoke the feeling of joy in audiences of all ages.
Irreverent and warm, vintage in feeling and radical in spirit, Joshua served as host and self-proclaimed Ambassador of Joy — guiding audiences through two full-length productions exploring what makes us authentic, and the importance of spreading joy when the world feels like it's falling apart.
Over ten years the show toured to performing arts centers across North America including Lincoln Center, Symphony Space, The Center for Puppetry Arts, Segerstrom Center, The Detroit Institute of Arts, The Skirball Cultural Center and venues across Canada.
