Puppetkabob Presents "The Snowflake Man"

Puppetkabob presents "The Snowflake Man" a puppet show inspired by Wilson "Snowflake" Bentley, a self-educated farmer and scientist who attracted world attention in 1885 by becoming the first person to capture the image of a single snow crystal. 

"The Snowflake Man" is a unique trunk show of Czech-style marionettes and props backed by a pop-up book of water color paintings. This show combines art with history and science through live storytelling.  The Snowflake Man was awarded a 2011 UNIMA Citation of Excellence.  This show is supported in part by a Creation Grant from the Vermont Arts Council and the National Endowment for the Arts.  

Ages: 3 and up. Fee: $4 with museum admission, $3 LICM members, $8 Theater Only
