About the Show

Come see two tales about friendship and working together! First, join an adventurous princess as she journeys to Mystery Mountain to visit the Great Green Dragon. Along the way you'll meet Zelda the babysitter, Sir George and his clumsy dog, and of course, a lovable dragon. Not to worry, everything ends happily in this fun show. Then, in The Lion and the Mouse two unlikely friends — one very big and one very small — learn to help each other to solve their problems. Both tales are told with colorful, friendly hand puppets and feature lots of audience participation!

All ages welcome, especially enjoyed by ages 3-7

About the Artist

For nearly 50 years, Pumpernickel Puppets has captivated audiences of all ages with humorous and colorful adaptations of classic folk and fairy tales. John McDonough and his puppets present over 250 shows a year at schools, libraries, and private parties throughout the New England area. For each production, John creates and performs all of his own puppets, which range from small hand puppets to larger-than-life figures.

John was four years old when he saw his first puppet show, and he immediately knew that he wanted to be a puppeteer. By his teens, John was presenting shows all over the New England area. Pumpernickel Puppets have had the honor of appearing at The Smithsonian Institution, Washington, DC, The Center for Puppetry Arts, Atlanta, GA, and the prestigious International Festival of Puppetry.
