Puppet show coming to local libraries

Enjoy a free family-friendly puppet showcase tour with artist Christopher Lutter-Gardella this month at the following locations:

Carlton Area Public Library - 1 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 12

Moose Lake Public Library - 4 p.m Thursday, Aug. 17

COMPAS Teaching Artist Christopher Lutter-Gardella will set-up a traditional hand-puppet stage, provide puppet guidance, musical accompaniment and plain-ol’ puppet comradery (with a hand-puppet of his own) to facilitate a spontaneous, highly improvised showcase of the unique puppet creations of the participants. Christopher will welcome any willing puppets onstage and will help them pluck up their puppetry confidence to perform for the audience. Program length is 60 minutes and is geared towards kids ages 8-13. Find out more at http://www.alslib.info. Program funded with money from Minnesota's Arts and Cultural Heritage Fund.
