Atlanta Puppetry Guild Meeting

IN PERSON at The Center for Puppetry Arts!!!

Please bring a snack to share, BYOB, and SHOW-AND-TELL is encouraged!

At 7:00 we will be screening a piece from the vast film collection in the Center's archives, details below! (It was tough to choose since there are so many fun things to watch, we will certainly do this again!)
This choice seemed a fitting tribute to Akbar!

African Folktales: More Puppet Suitcase Magic
By:Akbar Imhotep

Watch three brightly colored suitcases turn into puppet stages as this clever and humorous storyteller performs several African folktales.  You'll meet a man who wishes to be everything but himself in  "The Stone Cutter;" a gardener who's carried off by the biggest butterfly in the land in "The Attack of the Giant Butterfly" and other interesting characters.

This show ran August 15-September 3 1994/95 season
