Center for Puppetry Arts Upcoming Events

Over Christmas, we were invited to check out another great show from Center for Puppetry Arts in Atlanta... It was the classic Rudolph and I was so excited!  We had a great time, even with a sick one with us!  (These ear infections are for the birds!)  We ended up leaving early because of that, but it was still awesome and it made watching Rudolph on TV that much more special.  Having said all of that, I wanted to share with you the lineup for things at Center for Puppetry Arts coming up.

  1. I want a puppet theater near us. How fun. It sucks that Savannah keeps having ear infections. :( I remember Mica scream crying because of them. I could never tell the difference between ear infections and him cutting teeth. With both he had that pain, scream cry.
