The Ballard Institute and Museum of Puppetry at the University of Connecticut will once again offer fall community puppet-building workshops with acclaimed Boston puppeteer Sara Peattie, to design and build life-size and over-life-size puppets for the Celebrate Mansfield Parade in downtown Storrs, Connecticut. These free workshops will take place Saturday and Sunday, Sept. 12 and 13 from 10 am to 5 pm each day at the Ballard Institute workshop space in Storrs Center.
Workshop participants will be invited to parade with their puppets as part of the Celebrate Mansfield Parade on Sunday, Sept. 20 at noon (Line-up begins at 11 am at Farrell Field near the Post Office). The Parade is a part of the 12th Annual Celebrate Mansfield Festival.
This year's puppet-building workshops will celebrate the 150th anniversary of Lewis Carroll's classic tale Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland by designing and creating puppets based on the colorful and fantastic figures that populate Carroll's fanciful world: the White Rabbit, the Red Queen, the Cheshire Cat, the March Hare, and Alice herself--which character would you like to create?
