Pumpernickel Puppets to Perform for Young Families

Pumpernickel Puppets will perform Sir George and the Dragon at Glen Urquhart School

in Beverly on Saturday, November 1 at 10:30 a.m. The show, geared to audiences ages 3

to 6 and their parents, is free and open to the public.

John McDonough and his puppets present more than 250 performances a year of

adaptations of classic folk and fairy tales at schools, libraries, and private parties

throughout New England. For each production, McDonough designs and creates all of his

own puppets, which range from small hand puppets to larger than life size figures. Each

performance includes audience participation and a post-performance demonstration.

Pumpernickel Puppets have appeared at the Smithsonian Institution in Washington,

DC, the Center for Puppetry in Atlanta, GA, and the International Festival of Puppetry

sponsored by the Jim Henson Foundation of New York.

Glen Urquhart School is located at 74 Hart Street off Exit 17 of Route 128. For more
