Visit Ms. Greyson Bunny's Meadow. She, Little Ted Hedgehog, and all of their friends are on the adventure of The Lost Thimble. Where did it come from, who made it? There's magic about the meadow and it causes mysterious music and mis happenings. This is a fun story for children 3 to 7 with sing a-long music. As the adventure unfolds our woodland friends also start to plant the seeds of good environmental behavior. |

The PuppeTree Inc. presents The Legend of Sleepy Hollow, a Shadow Puppet production of what happens when obsessive greed and fear rules someone's life as they do to the hapless "itinerant pedagogue," Ichabod Crane. Three professional puppeteers operate more than 150 shadow puppets in this 40-minute classic American tale. Neal Meglathery, radio voice of the Montshire Minute, narrates the story in Washington Irving's words. The sound tract is by Childsplay and the performers providing a "backstage" view of the production for a curtain call.

| For fifty years, a troupe of antique marionettes was confined to a dusty closet at Jan Hus Church, in the heart of New York's Czechoslovak neighborhood. Discovered by V�t Ho?ej�, Czechoslovak storyteller, author, and puppeteer, the 24-inch century-old masterpieces of Czech puppet makers of the old, have since brought joy to thousands of spectators young and old on tours to 25 continental states, France, Hong Kong, Singapore... V�t Ho?ej� and his marionettes tell favorite Czech stories he learned in his home town, Prague, from his father and grandmother: "Salt over Gold" (A Princess who values her father "only" as much as salt, is banished, but returns to save her father when salt disappears), "The Stingy Tailor" (A proud and stingy tailor is taught a lesson by the water spirit "Vodn�k") and "Kacha and the Devil" (A shepherd outwits the devil who is pursued by a dance-loving shrew). |

| Aesop, one of the greatest storytellers of the ancient world, had a great sense of humor. And it's a good thing, because when Tuckers' Tales tells his stories, they take a few unexpected twists. The Tortoise & the Hare - A hare-raising adventure of Olympic proportions, The Fox & the Crow - The crow's meal is interrupted by a lesson in the dangers of self-admiration. The Ant & the Grasshopper - Take care before you wind up as a "grass-sicle" in winter's freezer, The Frog & the Ox - Sometimes trying to prove that you are not impressed with immensity may have immense consequences! |
