CENTER FOR PUPPETRY ARTS OLD MACDONALD SERIES
CENTER FOR PUPPETRY ARTS OLD MACDONALD FREE

And while you’re there, for a separate fee, you can visit the center’s museum or create-a-puppet workshop. In our case it was cute little reindeer Clarice, Rudolph’s, shall I say, love interest. When you arrive, your little one (s) will get a chance to take a picture with one of the puppets. And, lastly, the execution of the puppetry and the animation and scenery used to tell the story are all near unison. Second, the singing and vocals - done by the puppetry cast - are just about perfect. First, the simplicity of it all is captivating. If you’ve never been to the Center for Puppetry Arts prepare yourself to be wowed. Yes, it’s a show with live puppets, but not just any puppets. I know, I know, what else would I expect right? Well, it was one of those 'duh' moments we parents sometimes have when we think we know it all. While the name itself clearly suggests puppetry, I’d never been to the center before so it somehow went over my head that it would be performed with live puppets. The first year I took my daughter to the performance I had no idea what to expect. There’s also a noon show on Saturdays and during the week there are morning and afternoon shows. The center is not a place for taking food or naps. If I’ve learned anything as a parent, it's that making sure my kid has time for a snack and a nap beforehand will go a long way when doing anything that requires being seated for more than 15 minutes. Please register in advance to participate in this workshop.Except for a little trepidation over the abominable snow monster (more on that later), my little one gave it two thumbs up and was glued to the show the entire time.
