For Kids and Families Features American Legend

he Catskill Puppet Theatre returns to the For Kids and Families series 11 a.m. and 1 p.m. Saturday, September 28. in the Museum of Art Auditorium with their charming version of the story of Hiawatha. Full sets, exquisitely crafted puppets and Native American flute and drum, bring to life the tale of Iroquois hero Hiawatha. In this enchanting play he is a curious young boy who disobeys his grandmother to seek a vision, alone, in the forest. There he finds a sacred cave and enters a magical world full of talking animals and fantastic spirits. He meets a wise Mohawk, The Peacemaker, who teaches him a wonderful lesson. At last, with the help of his friends Bear and Turtle, Hiawatha discovers the pathway he must follow to become a great man. Since 1979, John Potocnik and Carol Mandigo, co-founders of the Catskill Puppet Theater, have been touring internationally, enchanting young and old with their delightful musical productions. The Catskill Puppet Theater takes great pride in carrying on in the living tradition of the old traveling puppet troupes, bringing high quality children's theater to over 100,000 people each year!
