“Susie Saves the Day” Interactive Puppet Shows June 3-4

May 14, 2015 — "Anyone can be a superhero. My Mom says so!" says Susie, the hero of Parasol Puppets’ exciting new puppet show.

Kids in grades K-5 will enjoy this hand puppet adventure filled with audience participation and interaction, making each puppet performance uniquely different. 

The audience works with Puppeteer Peter Allen to create a performance from items displayed on the "Puppet Menu." How shall our story begin? What’s going to happen? How can Susie save the day? Allen puts the selected items together to create a brand new story at every performance starring our hero, Susie.

This is classic puppet theater for the whole family!

Join Susie’s adventures during performances at the following times and locations:

  • Fair Grove Elementary School: Wednesday, June 3, 11 a.m.
  • Brentwood Branch: Wednesday, June 3, 2 p.m.
  • Willard Recreation Center: Thursday, June 4, 10 a.m.
  • Library Center: Thursday, June 4, 1 and 2 p.m. in the auditorium

Financial assistance for this project is provided by the Missouri Arts Council, a state agency.
