The Lion and The Mouse presented with hand puppets is the Aesop's fable of a lion getting caught in a hunters net and set free by a tiny mouse. Ricky, a two and a half foot tall full body puppet, tells the story of Peter Rabbit. Max the dog sings "Happy Birthday" to the birthday child and all of the children get involved in performing a puppet song. A colorful five foot tall dodo bird will enchant the children with his hilarious song. Four musical marionettes acts are included.

Introduction To Puppetry
-
Learn all about the many types of puppets: stick, hand, rod, full body, marionettes (string puppets) and ventriloquist dummies. This will not be just a "talk" on puppetry. All types of puppets will be displayed and demonstrated. Volunteers will have the opportunity to get first-hand experience operating puppets. The class will conclude with an exercise in creativity. Each participant will make an impromptu puppet using only newspaper, masking tape and crepe paper.
