Autumn is here!
What beautiful weather we’ve been having lately to welcome in Fall (although it’s still pretty warm)!
One of our favorite festivals each October is the Mable House Storytelling Festival: Fabulous Storytellers, our show Cherokee Tales, and lots of old-fashioned fun! They haven’t given us our show times yet, but last year they were at 11:30 and 1:00, so it should be something similar.

We’re welcoming summer with a “splash!”
We are so excited to announce the world premiere of our new show, Splish, Splash: Water Stories! Developed with the help of Project WET, this show explores our most precious resource in a fun and educational way! Large hand-puppets are used in the Australian folktale of “Tiddalick the Frog” and the Creek legend “Rabbit Plays Tug-of-War,” which demonstrate that water is important to all cultures. The original shadow puppet piece, “The Adventures of Drip and Drop,” shows the water-cycle from the point of view of the raindrops. As the closing song says, “Everybody needs a little water!” Best for ages 4-10.
See below for the schedule, including FREE performances!

Piccadilly Puppets are in Buckhaven Lifestyle
Buckhaven Lifestyle is a monthly magazine for residents of Buckhead and Brookhaven. The March issue focuses on Arts and Culture, and has a lovely article about Piccadilly Puppets. Look for it on page 24, entitled “Lions and Tigers and Puppets, Oh My!” (my computer calls it page 25).
