Starting Friday, October 5,
Puppet Showplace Theatre is bringing back its after-school show time series
for youth and family audiences. For the remainder of the Fall 2012 season, PST
will present a 3:00pm show the first Friday of every month (October 5, November
2, and December 7).
Behind-the-scenes Access:
Ever wonder what goes into a puppet show? Well, you're in luck! Each performance will include a post-show behind-the-scenes
puppet demonstration and a Q&A session with the puppeteer. According to
Brad Shur, Artist-in-Residence at PST, “These performances are a great
opportunity for kids to meet with artists, ask questions, and see how a
professional puppet show works!”
Puppet-making Activity:
Following each performance, audience
members are also invited to enjoy a FREE puppet making activity. All the
materials will be provided by PST, and every child can make their own puppet to
take home.
Tickets cost $12 General/$8 PST

girl growing up at the beginning of the twentieth century. As she pursues the
everyday activities of playing and learning, the tales of "Two Bad
Mice", "Jeremy Fisher", and "Jemima Puddleduck" seem
to grow from her imagination. Hand, Rod, and Shadow puppets. Recommended for
