The Puppets are back!  And with new material!

On the 25th of June, we will be doing a full hour-long show of story-time featuring the Elephant’s Child, The Story of Heckedy Peg, as told by Karin Webb, and a new shadow puppet show based off of three Aesop’s Fables.  It’s going to be magical.  See press release for more details:

PRESS RELEASE

On Thursday, June 25th at 7:00pm, Brookline Music School Guitar Coordinator Brendan Burns and Friends perform a selection of bedtime stories with live music and original shadow puppets in Brookline Music School’s Bakalar Recital Hall. Stories include “Mice in Council”, “Mountain in Labor”, and “The Lion’s Paw” from Aesop’s Fables, “The Story of Heckedy Peg”, and Rudyard Kipling’s “The Elephant’s Child”. This is entertainment for the whole family!
The cast includes four musicians, five puppeteers and five voice actors. Musicians include Vessesla Stoyanva, MIDI Marimba, Cara Frankowicz, violin, and composers Brendan Burns, guitar and Valerie Thompson, cello. Puppeteers are Anne Marie Taylor, Molly Zenobia, Gonzalo Plaza, Mali Sastri, and Co-Director Dylan Gould. Voice actors are Dann Brown, Nate 
St. Laurent, Lainey Schulbaum, and Co-Directors Karin Webb and Jill Gibson.
New Exhibition Room’s Artistic Director Nora Long said, “It was magical! The music is astonishing and filled the story beautifully.  The actors provided excellent foils for one another, and the puppets were imaginative, interesting, and abstract without being obtuse.”
Story-Time at Brookline Music School is free and all ages are welcome. Come in pajamas if you wish to enjoy the evening’s bedtime stories from 7:00pm to 8:00pm. For more information contact Brookline Music School at 617-277-4593 or visit the website, www.bmsmusic.org.
