We’re a little late with our holiday show update, but there are a couple of chances coming up to see a Piccadilly Puppets Christmas show:
Tuesday, December 9, 5:00 PM at Imagine It! The Children’s MuseumFoxy Christmas is brought to you free as part of the Target Free Tuesdays series: http://www.childrensmuseumatlanta.org/
Saturday, December 13, 10:00 and 11:30 am at Aurora Theatre (Lawrenceville) These shows fill up, so make a reservation or come early. http://www.auroratheatre.com/education/childrens-playhouse/
Funding for our programs is provided by the Fulton County Board of Commissioners.
Piccadilly Puppets is happy to announce that we have received funding for the second half of 2014 from the Fulton County Board of Commissioners, through the guidance of the Fulton County Arts Council. Fulton County is the leading public funder for the arts in the State of Georgia. It is wonderful to live in a county that understands the importance of the arts to our community. Our grant from the Fulton County Arts Council supplements our main source of income, which is the fees we charge for performances. This enables us to hire skilled, professional puppeteers and pay them a competitive wage, while still keeping our prices affordable to most groups. We can also give back to the community through occasional discounted or even free performances. Through the application and review process and final reports, the arts council also helps us to set goals, to meet artistic standards, to be financially responsible, and to be held accountable for the way we spent the funds at the end of each year. These grants benefit not only our organization, but more importantly YOU, as our audience. Please join us in thanking the Board of Commissioners and the Arts Council. If you live in Fulton and enjoy the arts, please let your Commissioner know!

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!
