CT Guild of Puppetry Day at Stepping Stones Museum
April 27th, 2024, 1:00pm
Location: Stepping Stones Museum in Norwalk
RSVP to board@ctpuppetry.org
We will be celebrating a special day for Guild members at the Stepping Stones Museum in Norwalk, CT. Join us at 1:00 for a brief membership meeting followed by a make and take mask workshop with Robin McCahill. At 2:30, Guild members are invited to take part in the museum’s puppetry parade leading up to a 3:00 performance by TJ Jacobs of Rolande Duprey’s “Spinning Straw into Gold”. As some of you may know, Rolande recently retired from performing this show and has past it on to TJ as part of his growing repertoire*.
This is a fantastic opportunity to see the growing puppetry community at Stepping Stones Museum. This event is open to members and, as such, admission to the museum will be FREE for Guild members. But it is important you RSVP as soon as possible so we can have a headcount for passes. Please contact board@ctpuppetry.org for more information or call (860) 871-9065
*TJ will also be performing at 11:00am as well for people who may want to come earlier.
