Catch Dreamweavers by Madcap Puppets

Catch the last children’s performance of the season – The Dreamweavers by Madcap Puppets - at UC Clermont College. The Dreamweavers will be presented by Madcap Puppets on April 11 at 7 p.m. and April 12 at 10 a.m. in the Krueger Auditorium.  A puppet building workshop will be held on April 12 at 11:15 a.m.

For 25 years, Madcap Productions Puppet Theatre has brought together giant puppets (up to 12 ft. tall), professionally trained actors and imaginative children’s theatre scripts.  All performances are designed to provide a rich theatrical experience for the audience as well as a new and challenging view of the art of puppetry.

  The Dreamweavers tale involves two dream sprites, Artravia, the sprite of nightmares and Diaphone, the sprite of good dreams, who want to create their own dreams. They escape from their boss, the Sandman, and put the whole audience to sleep! The dreams they create include stories from around the world. Will the sprites dream their dreams before the Sandman finds them? Fall asleep and find out!

Stories include: The Magic Axe (China), The Waterman of Scotland and Monstritos Banditos (Spain). Recommended ages: Grades pre K–6.

Tickets prices are $6 for adults and $4 for children, seniors and UC students. Performances will take place in the Krueger Auditorium located in the Snyder Building on the UC Clermont College Campus.

The puppet building workshop is also presented by Madcap Puppets and will be held on April 12 at 11:15 a.m. in the Snyder Building, Room S142. Children are able to build and take home their very own pup¬pets! With the help of a parent, the Madcap artist leads children on an exciting, creative adventure where they can create their own puppet. Recommended ages: Grades K–5 (Maximum attendance is 40)

The workshops are designed to compliment the performance and engage children and parents through the artistic learning process. Attendance at the performance is not required to register for a workshop. The cost of the puppet workshop is $6 per person.
