American Puppet Theater

There’s a new children’s show at the park this season: American Puppet Theater.

Based out of Chicago, Miss Green and her puppet friends present two shows at The Chapel each day.

On the stage, a small puppet theater is set up:

I grew up watching Mr. Roger’s Neighborhood and the puppets in the Land of Make Believe, but I have seen very few puppet shows in person. The show I caught featured two short stories.

The first involved a pirate and made references to the monster of Dragon Island. It was neat seeing the show customized for Adventureland. (For those who haven’t visited, Dragon Island is one of the “lands” of the park, where some carnival games are, as well as the Dragon roller coaster, Puff the Dragon and Himalaya).

The second show featured two friends and a tree:

Both shows are short enough they should work well with the A.D.D. generation of kids roaming the park these days.

If you stick around after the show, you can meet Miss Green and some of her puppets. She had a gift for the kid’s the stayed for this show:

If you have little ones (or just like puppets), be sure to catch the American Puppet Theater this season, and tell Miss Green that ParkHopping.com sent you.
