Puppet Shows
After performing puppet shows for over 20 years as a Children’s Librarian, I decided to continue this fun activity into my retirement years. I have a beautiful portable puppet theater that can travel anywhere and many stories and folktales to share. I am available for school visits, after school programs, programs at adult care facilities, and special events like birthday parties and other celebrations.
Puppetry Workshops
I offer several types of puppetry workshops for children between the ages of 6 and 12 introducing them to the use of puppets for storytelling purposes. Using and sometimes creating either hand or shadow puppets, students learn how to manipulate them behind the appropriate puppet stage, create and read scripts, and perform stories for audiences consisting of family and friends. Some of my workshops are offered through the Yoknapatawpha Arts Council. You can find upcoming ones on YAC’s class schedule at www.oxfordarts.com or contact me directly if you’d like to schedule your own workshop.
