ANIMALIA with Hobey Ford's Golden Rod Puppets

A show you won't want to miss, ANIMALIA is the brain child of puppeteer Hobey Ford, known as the winner of puppetry's highest honor, the UNIMA Citation of Excellence, as well as three Jim Henson Foundation grants and The Hermitage Fellowship. Each of his Golden Rod Puppets are handcrafted by himself, as are the intricate sets they occupy. Expect to engage with a magnified butterfly and frog metamorphosis, explore the world of birds, and enjoy a classical undersea ballet performed by whales, dolphins, and otters. Performances will be held at the Gonzales Branch Library on June 21 at 10 am and 2 pm, as well as at the Dutchtown Branch Library on June 22 at 10 am and 2 pm. Free. mypl.org.
