When the holidays arrive, the families do too, so when you're looking for somewhere to take the folks, the kids, or the in-laws this week, try the Liebe Wetzel's "Another Wrapping Paper Caper." Wetzel and her Oakland-based puppetry troupe Lunatique Fantastique take kids of all ages on a wild puppet adventure, as the trench-coated private eye follows a trail of packing peanuts to track down a stolen package. Along the way the sleuth runs into a host of wrapping paper-clad, found-object puppets created on stage, including Ribbon, Tinsel, Styrofoam peanuts, Fedora Hat, along with guest appearances by Bread Rolls and Silverware.

This delightful "tale of holiday mischief" runs through January 5 as part of "Build It, the Performance Series at the Zeum." The Zeum is located at 221 Fourth Street at Howard, in Yerba Buena Gardens. Shows times are 1:30 and 3:30 most days. Please call the box office at 415 820 3353 for availability. Tickets are $10 kids (18 and under) and $12 adults. Visit www.lunafan.com for more information.
