Catskill Puppet Theater presents: Hiawatha In-Person
This program is held outside in our Greenspace. Registration is not required. Please bring chairs or a blanket to sit on.
Rain date is 7/25.
Using full sets, exquisitely crafted puppets and accompanied by Native American flute and drum, this enchanting play is based on the life of the great Iroquois hero, Hiawatha. Hiawatha is portrayed as a curious young boy who decides to disobey his grandmother and seek a vision, alone, in the forest. There he finds a sacred cave and enters a magical world full of talking animals and fantastic spirits! He meets a wise Mohawk, The Peacemaker, who teaches him a wonderful lesson. At last, with the help of his friends Bear and Turtle, Hiawatha discovers the pathway he must follow to become a great man!
Made possible through the CNY Arts GRACE regrant program thanks to a NYS Senate Initiative supported by the NYS Legislature, the Office of the Governor and administered by the New York State Council on the Arts.
