THIS SUNDAY, June 1, 4PM - Right of Spring 2025 The Puppeteers Cooperative returns to The Old Stone House with their annual parade and puppet pageant! Come see a costumed performance with handmade masks, larger-than-life puppets, live music and a parade of insects. This year's theme puts a magnifying glass on adventures in the world of insects. Bees and Ladybugs cavort in the sun and rain. An old curmugeon of a Wasp likes a good argument. A Beetle delivers a long list of executive orders as his side-kick, a Preying Mantis, poisons the flowers for plastic substitutes. As always, the Puppet Co-op tells a lavish parable for our times and a great band will get you jumpin' and wiggling! For all ages. After the show: Earth Music and surprises with folk musician, Pinetree! Double Feature: Vespa: A Girl and Her Pet Wasp Stay late for an insect opera! A girl and her pet wasp lead some friends on a journey into the mysterious world of insects. Their alarming and hilarious encounters cause the humans to re-evaluate their place in the natural world. Opera lovers can listen to DiNicola's complex, one-of-a-kind musical creation amoungst the insects and flowers of the Old Stone House Gardens! First-time opera listeners of all ages will find plenty to entertain them in the cast of buggy characters (and they can get out their wiggles on the playground anytime). This English-language opera is punctuated by the handmade puppet creations of Puppeteer's Cooperative. (fb)
