Become a Puppet Player!

This summer, your kids can become puppet masters in our Puppet Players program. Andrea Cocke, a tutor and teacher, will work with kids in grades 1 to 4 to create their own puppets and to produce and stage a public performance. Children will need to attend ALL THREE programs in their session in order to be a performer at the final session. Children should register for one of two sessions:

Session 2: July 7, July 14, and July 21 at 4:15 p.m. with a final performance on July 21 at 5:30 p.m.
