The No Strings Maionette Company put on a fabulous puppet show for us this afternoon. This company from Randolph Vermont is here to do a 3 week residency with the third grade classes. In these weeks, they will learn techniques on how to create puppets and put on a show. Hopefully we will be lucky enough to enjoy this show too upon their completion. Here is a synopsis of the show we saw today.
"Isabelle Popinki is a girl with a mission! She aims to be a first class scientist and archaeologist in the Field of Faeries. In a vacant lot near her home in a Detroit suburb, Isabelle grows a garden of plants historically used to attract the Faerie Folk. On Halloween Eve, while other neighborhood kids costume themselves for Trick or Treating, Isabelle prepares to fulfill her lifelong dream � to actually meet a Faerie. Sanjeev Patil is a technological whiz kid. His aim this Halloween is to teach his friend Isabelle a lesson with a remote control fairy. The two are transported through a mushroom to the Land of Faerie, where they must help save this underground domain from a man-made menace."
