"The Trolls and the Tree", March 3rd at Arlington Center for the Arts

Trolls Skimpa and Blompa want to take good care of the fairies' garden while the fairies are away. But it's hard to fit their television, toaster and furniture without moving the big tree. Can the trolls learn to go green?

Please join Margaret for a lively show at Arlington Center for the Arts on Saturday, March 3rd at 2 pm. It's the last show in this year's Puppets at ACA series. We hope you'll stay for puppet-making, puppet-play, and coffee afterwards.

Directions: acarts.org/directions.php

Tickets are $5 at the door. I can take reservations via e-mail to galapagospuppets@gmail.com.

Thanks,

Margaret 

"Cow and Mouse" and "Mathilda's Bath" at ACA

Please join me for the February show of "Puppets at Arlington Center for the Arts".  I'll perform two short shows especially for children ages 3 and up.

In "Cow and Mouse's Picnic", two friends enjoy lunch together, but can't stand to share dessert.
"Mathilda's Bath" is an adaptation of the Mrs. Piggle Wiggle story about the girl who doesn't like to take baths -- "The Radish Cure".  It was my favorite Mrs. Piggle Wiggle story growing up.
As always, please stay after the show to talk, play with puppets, and have some coffee or tea.
