The LSPG met at the Audelia Library on Sunday the 18th and were entertained by a performance of "Don't Bug Me" by Sandra McLean of S&D Puppetry with the help of Lynn Baskind. Frieda the Fairy (pictured above) didn't want to go to school and hilarity ensued!

Plans were made for the upcoming National Day of Puppetry. "An Earth Friendly Puppet Party" will be the theme of the day. A puppet making workshop for kids and parents using recycled and found objects will begin the afternoon, followed by rehearsing with the newly created puppets and concluding with a grand performance of an Earth Day play for family and friends. A Puppet Slam/Potpourri is also being planned to take place at the Bath House Cultural Center - details coming soon.

Meetings:

February 15 - TBA - possible location change

March 15 - Audelia Library - conference room - guild members will prepare puppets and props from recycled materials for the April library display case and go over the script for the Earth Day skits.

April 26 - National Day of Puppetry 2009 - Audelia Library - auditorium

Reminder: The Dallas episodes of the Antiques Roadshow will begin airing on January 26 - Gary Busk's puppet collection will be featured during this time, so don't forget to tune in.
