Photo from Denver Puppet Theater
It was weird.
1. The theater is located in a beyond sketchy part of west Denver. But it has a beautiful courtyard with a fountain, tables, chairs, an arbor and an angora rabbit in a hutch.
2. The courtyard was charming and I wanted to recreate it in my backyard (old wine bottles (most were old) used as a border, so cool).
3. There was a house behind the building where I assume the owners live.
4. When you walk into the theater part there are puppets hanging all over the walls. Old puppets, foreign puppets, mostly marionettes but a few regular hand kind. It was a nightmare waiting to happen.
5. The lady came out, greeted us, and after an awkward little song about staying in your seat she disappeared behind the curtain.
6. The lady wrote and performed the piece herself-- down to all the annoying voices. The plot fell apart and ended with no resolution. John got bored, Kitty laughed like crazy.
It was a strange cross between The Sound of Music and Being John Malkovich.
I hope you sleep well tonight, I will be dreaming of Punch and Judy... and Chucky.

You wonder sometimes how they choose field trips! Now you know I just want to go see this place!
Yikes...that would be just the thing to freak me out.
You are too funny, but I agree they are as creepy as clowns!
Talk about creepy, Thumbalina is a weird story anyway! Freaky. We had a great (non-freaky) time at Cinderella at the Children's Theater at the Mizel Jewish Community Center...Not trying to brag, just letting you know! At least they let you bring Kitty.
ok that is creepy-thanks for the nightmares!
Where are the pictures of the courtyard?? I want to see??
I don't think I have ever seen a marionette show live, don't think I want to!!
