Imagine
questioning a conceited Emperor about his "new clothes" at
a Royal Press Conference! Magpie Puppets performances actively engage
children. In Moccasin Stew, children change the scenery with
a magic chant. In Eeyore's Birthday, they help Pooh Bear remember
birthday protocol. Each performance opens with a guitar sing-along,
or a lively lecture/demonstration about how puppets are made and manipulated.
Performances run approximately 50 minutes and are appropriate for both
large assemblies and small groups.
Magpie
Puppets is included in the Massachusetts Cultural Council Performing
and Touring Roster and is a participant in the New England States Touring
Program. Study guides citing relevant Massachusetts Curriculum Frameworks
are provided for school performances.
