The folks at the Fort Worth Central Library will be introducing their new Kids Puppet Club this summer so they are very excited to be co-hosting the 12th Annual National Day of Puppetry with the Lone Star Puppet Guild. They have made their Rotunda and Discovery Theater available for this event.

About the National Day of Puppetry:
Puppetry in America is older than the country itself, but until the beginning of the 20th century, puppet shows were rare. Puppeteers kept their art a closely guarded secret, certainly not shared with the public. In the first half of the 20th century, some puppeteers (most notably Tony Sarg) helped to lift the veil of secrecy, sharing information about their work, which lead to the formation of the Puppeteers of America in 1937.
Today, almost three quarters of a century onward, puppets hold a place in the public's heart that is rivaled by few other arts. They appear on stage, in movies, on television, and now, on the Internet. The Puppeteers of America is proud to present this National Day of Puppetry taking place all over North America and brought to you by the local Puppeteers of America guild in your area.
