Winter Program - Puppet TheaterThe Storytelling Guild partners with Craterian Performances to bring two free performances to children of the community. A professional puppet theater group is hired for these performances to give children, many who would not otherwise be able to attend the theater, a chance to enjoy a professional performance at no cost. Winter Program allows the Storytelling Guild to expose children to another form of storytelling, through the magic of puppets. Children are asked to bring a book donation to this event to be distributed with our ‘Pass the Book’ program.

Description:
'Stone Soup' is an old French folktale in which hungry strangers convince the people of a town to each share a small amount of their food in order to make a meal that everyone enjoys, and exists as a moral regarding the value of sharing. This charming rendition is a musical set in the snowy arctic. The characters are all indigenous animals, including a clever arctic fox, an arctic lemming, a walrus, puffins, a polar bear, and a magical narwhal. This story inspires the qualities of generosity, coming together as a community, and the value of looking beyond stereotypes.
