Free Puppets-to-Go Show on July 8th

 

Bob Nathanson's Puppets-to-Go will perform The Last Dinosaur at the East Lyme Public Library on Wednesday, July 8th from 2:15-3:00 p.m. 

 

Puppets-to-Go was founded by Bob and his wife, Elise, in 1979. In addition to performing at schools, museums, theaters and libraries, he has performed at regional and national puppetry festivals throughout the United States and Canada. Bob received his training in puppetry at the Gramercy Puppet Theatre in New York City with Lea Wallace, and at the National Theatre of Puppet Arts in Great Neck, New York with Carol Fijan. In addition to writing and performing puppet shows, Bob is a columnist for The Puppetry Journal. 

The great Lea Wallace was one of Bob's first mentors.

Bob uses music to help evoke a wide range of moods in each production. It is his strong writing background, however, that makes any Puppets-to-Go show memorable. Stories may be amusing one moment... sensitive and touching the next. Wherever he performs, Bob, along with his cast of unforgettable characters, educates the mind and entertains the imagination.

The Last Dinosaur Puppet Show is part of the East Lyme Public Library's Summer Reading Program. The show is recommended for children ages 3 and up. Here is a link to a study guide about the performance. The guide includes vocabulary words and discussion questions you may wish to share with your children before or after the program.

See you at the East Lyme Public Library!
