OK gang, I’ve been pretty busy this semester with lots of Young Author shows and library summer reading shows, so it’s about time I got back to the blog.
Big event coming up! It’s the Pupppetpalooza!! The Central Illinois Puppetry Guild will be presenting a family friendly puppet show every Saturday between May 30 and June 27th, 2015 at the Lincoln Square Mall in Urbana, IL.
This event is in conjunction with the Urbana Public Arts Program. The guild received a generous grant from the UPAP to work with some of the merchants in the mall to help provide the city of Urbana some for family oriented arts events. This sounds pretty pompous, but essentially what were doing is helping the mall attract some foot traffic while spreading the word about puppetry.
Saturday, May 30th is Clothespin Puppets’ Saturday. We’ll be performing our full Picture Book Show at 11:00 and then hanging out with the kids afterwards. Below is a flyer with a complete list of guild performers and the schedule.
So, if you are in the Central Illinois area on any of these Saturdays, come by Lincoln Square Mall and see a great show!
