Saturday, April 6 at 2 pm

Arlington Center for the Arts theater

41 Foster Street, Arlington

Join the fun as Sparky’s Puppets perform “The Kingdom of Riddles” at the Arlington Center for the Arts. In this show, a king asks a knight to capture a unicorn for his queen.   In his quest, the knight will need the audience to help solve riddles posed by those he meets along the way --- a jester, a witch and a dragon.

Sparky Davis has been dramatizing favorite children’s stories for schools, libraries and festivals throughout New England for over 30 years.  Each of her shows features colorful hand puppets, lively humor and plenty of audience participation.


Come laugh with "The Kingdom of Riddles"; stay to enjoy puppet-making and some lemonade!

FEBRUARY 9th SHOW SNOWED OUT!

Sorry to cancel this Saturday's "Monkey and the Mystery of the Snake" show at Arlington Center for the Arts! It sounds like Boston (and Arlington) will have so much snow that people won't be able to travel safely. So, hope you are home safe and warm, and not having to shovel too much!

Snakes are charming and mysterious, so it's no wonder that banquet preparations for the Year of the Snake have mysterious problems. Someone keeps sneaking in and eating the foods, and the decorations. Is it the Snake King? Or a cranky Monkey who wishes the banquet were for him? Join Margaret Moody of Galapagos Puppets for this lively episode of Journey to the West, told with traditional Taiwanese hand puppets and choreography.

Please stay and make a simple Chinese Zodiac puppet afterward. Try a little oo-long tea, too!
