Westbeth Events

11am
Saturday Sept 30
Penny Jones & CO Puppet Show
Peppi and the Pop-Up Dragon is a puppet show inside a giant Pop-Up book. The sun rises and sets over a happy fishing village with bells that ring, babies that are rocked, and boats that go out to sea. But the town is threatened by the pop-up dragon from the Blue Mountain. Peppi and Peppina save the day with creativity, co-operation and a happy lesson for all. The audience creates the sounds and songs, and after the show, everyone makes a simple puppet dragon to take home. This unique show premiered at the Henson International Puppet Festival.

For 50 years, Penny Jones & Co. Puppets have charmed audiences in the West Village with their Old Time interactive puppet theater in an intimate space for young children. The company has appeared on television and all over New York from the Highline, Parks and Piers, to the Metropolitan Museum of Art and BAM. Penny Jones was awarded the Education Award from the Puppeteers of America and is a Westbeth Icon. https://pennypuppets.com
