If you live in the Atlanta Area you will be happy to learn that there the Passport to Puppetry Library Loan Program just launched statewide! All you need is your library card to check out the pass and you will be on your way to a free visit toBig Bird, the Fraggles, Wayland Flowers’ Madame, and a host of other popular puppet characters. Library cards are magical for so many reasons!
I love the Center for Puppetry Arts. I attribute to toe my love of The Muppets with Jason Segel. It’s such a good movie with a great soundtrack. Being able to see some of the Muppets at the Center for Puppetry Arts is always fun!
The “Passport to Puppetry” is valid for up to four free museum admissions—a potential savings of up to $33 per family. Parties with children must include at least one adult. The museum provides educational fun with more than 350 puppets from around the world, highlighting the fact that every civilization on our planet has its own unique form of puppetry tradition. By examining and learning more about the cultural traditions of other countries, one gains a greater understanding of our shared histories and values.
The museum at the Center for Puppetry Arts is open Tuesdays through Sundays with hours varying upon day and programming. In additionto four free admissions, the “Passport to Puppetry” also entitles library patrons to attend a performance at the Center and/or participate in aCreate-a-Puppet Workshop at a 25% discount, when space is available. Complete details, including valid dates, show times, hours ofoperation, and reservation information are available online at www.puppet.org.
