Come help make Spring bloom!

Westbeth Community Rm
155 Bank St
New York, NY
(enter through courtyard
between West and Washington Sts. )

Fun and funny things happen in the magic forest. The children raise flowers and even help to make Spring. A fan favorite because the children get to do so much. This is interactive puppet theater in an intimate space for young children. With lots of participation, fun and games, and magic. The Early Childhood Puppet Theatre’s first show- now even better. A hit for generations. With Jack, the Pied Piper and Mother Goose’s silly little dog Toby. – And make a puppet to take home after the show!

“The puppets are charming, the program never overexcites the audience, although there’s lots of room for participation” – The New York Times
“Real warmth and gentleness.” -New York Magazine
