Honor the Year of the Snake -- Snow date show!

MONKEY AND THE MYSTERY OF THE SNAKE

Saturday, June 1 at 11 am
Arlington Center for the Arts


Someone keeps sneaking into the Banquet Hall and gobbling up decorations meant to honor the Year of the Snake. Could it be the mysterious Snake King? Or a cranky monkey who wishes the banquet were in his honor?

We missed the chance to welcome the Year of the Snake because of a big snowstorm in February. Come honor it now with Margaret Moody of Galapagos Puppets! Stay after the show for oolong tea and puppet-play.

Please note the NEW TIME for this show: 11 am 

For directions: www.acarts.org/directions.php

Hope to see you there!
