"Mathilda's Bath" and "Cow and Mouse's Picnic" this Saturday

Join Margaret Moody for two funny puppet shows this Saturday at 2pm at Arlington Center for the Arts. In "Mathilda's Bath," adapted from a Mrs. Piggle Wiggle story, Mathilda loves mud baths -- but not the soapy kind. And in "Cow and Mouse's Picnic" two friends share everything except dessert. Come for the show, stay for coffee and puppet-play. 
Tickets are $7; 3 for $20. Please pay by cash or check at the door. Best for ages 3 and up.

This Saturday we team up with Arlington Center for the Arts to offer a "Puppets Together" workshop for families, after the show. Make puppets and perform with your family! More about the class: acarts.org/classes.php
