Think Big! Giant Puppet Construction and Performance Class

Join us in July for a week of bringing giants to life! Students will learn how to dream big and work with others to make their visions a reality. In addition to acquiring technical construction and performance skills, students will learn the basics of project planning and how to work as a team. Their work will be presented for our audiences at the July 23rd adult Puppet Slam (8:00 pm on July 23rd)!

This is a youth workshop; ages 8 and up. Students should dress in clothes they wouldn’t mind getting dirty.

Dates: July 18th through July 23rd
Time: 3:30PM - 5:30PM
Performance at 8PM, Saturday July 23rd
