Puppet workshop, Tuesday, July 5

Jerry Bickel from Bits 'n' Pieces Puppet Theater showed us how to draw cats (or draw their heads anyway -- mean square shaped heads, elegant triangular heads, goofy round heads) make puppets out of them -- really just some tape and a piece of cloth! -- and be cats. I heard some brilliant mewing and meowing. Great job, cat puppeteers!
First we drew cat heads.
Then we decorated them & gave them bodies.

Now they're gorgeous.

Jerry is acting out the story with the old woman and the old man whose lives would be perfect if they had a nice cat.

How many cats were there?  Oh, yeah, hundreds of cats...

 

Denise Hall, stand-up comedian

Why did the comedian take a pie in the face?  Because the elephant was in the refrigerator? Because the chicken had crossed the road? I don't know you tell me -- but remember this, Denise -- LIBRARIANS DON'T TAKE PIES!

Josiah looking at sunspots through Kevin Manning's telescope. He's not even scorching his eyeballs!

Magician Cesar Domico & his famous rubber chicken!

Maestro Cesar has found us ready to laugh. "We want the rubber chicken!" we said.

He had a few tricks up his sleeve.

No colors there!

Wow -- now color!

Would you like to buy a chicken? Is it crazy or not crazy?

Oh, we love that chicken!
