SEEKONK: PUMPERNICKEL PUPPETS AT LIBRARY

June 28th, 2009 · No Comments

Seekonk Library is pleased to announce that Pumpernickel Puppets will be the guest performance for Family Night on Monday, July 13, at 6:30 p.m.

Z-2000, the “light up” Space Robot, will make a special guest appearance during this show. This program is free and is open to the public. It has been generously sponsored by The Friends of Seekonk Public Library.

For over thirty five years the Pumpernickel Puppets have captivated audiences of all ages. John McDonough and his puppets present over two hundred fifty shows a year at schools, libraries and private parties throughout the New England area. For each production, McDonough creates all of his own puppets, which range from small hand puppets to larger than life size figures. He also manipulates the entire cast alone and provides the voices as well. His puppet creations have been included in an exhibit of African American puppetry that toured major museums throughout the country.

The Pumpernickel Puppets have had the honor of appearing at the Smithsonian Institution, Washington, DC, The Center for Puppetry Arts, Atlanta, GA and the prestigious International Festival of Puppetry sponsored by the Jim Henson Foundation in New York.
