Puppets in Paradise plays September 10-11, 2011
This Biennial community event and Sandglass fundraiser is Scheduled to take place Saturday and Sunday, September 10 and 11 from 10am-4pm. Sandglass Theater presents two afternoons of puppetry and performance in the enchanted setting of landscape architects Gordon and Mary Hayward's gardens. Walk the gardens and view herbs, flowers, and other beautiful flora as you meet puppets, theater artists and musicians around each corner and behind every bush. This community event and Sandglass benefit is a local favorite. Food and refreshments add to the delight of a beautiful day.The gardens, a thoughtful combination of informal New England landscaping and the more traditional English garden, will provide the backdrop for the scenes being presented. Using specific locations such as the Haywards' barn, the Woodland, Herb, and "Vermont Ruin" gardens as their stages, the artists will perform throughout the day.
Delicious gourmet sandwiches, elaborate salads, snacks, cookies, pastries, beverages and ice cream will be available for purchase. All proceeds from tickets and concessions benefit Sandglass Theater's projects and programs. Sandglass Theater is a non-profit theater company located in Putney, Vermont, which specializes in the art of puppet theater and performance work.
Tickets can be purchased at the Haywards' garden on September 10 and 11.
