A polar bear floats away from the North and finds himself in the Great Swamp. With the help of some local animals he finds his way home. The story is brought to life with musicians, puppeteers, and dancers.
Based on similar works by Vermont’s “Bread and Puppet Theater”, Rebecca wanted to create a local event as part of the Earth Day Celebration that would draw attention to Global Warming:

“Global Warming is real, threatening all living creatures, the most vulnerable the animals who live in extreme environments. The performance is an expression of those concerns. My goal is to communicate this concern in a format that is fun, with a positive outlook, with the help of the community.”
“Longview School, Brewster Library, The Studio Around The Corner, and the 4H are all participating. The puppets are made from recycled materials, featuring a 5 ft long trout, and three larger than life frogs. Earth Day is the perfect day for this event!”
The performance will be held on April 22 from 2 – 3 PM at Brewster Library (outside back courtyard) 79 Main St, Brewster, NY 10509. Admission is free.
Volunteer puppeteers and musicians needed, no experience necessary!
