I hope you don't mind my sending you information about this year's PuppetFest MidWest. I would like to send you more updates on performances and workshops. If you do not want to receive any updates, please let me know and I will take you off of my list. If you can think of anyone else who might be interested, please let me know or pass this on to them. Thank you for helping us spread the word about this puppet festival. Every year, for one week in July, a group of puppeteers get together to share their expertise and their passion for live puppet theatre. PuppetFest MidWest (July 12 - 17, 2005 in Trenton, Missouri) is an independent annual puppetry festival that is presented, organized and financially supported by puppeteers as a gift to other puppeteers in the hope that it will inspire, strengthen and renew our commitment to Puppet Theatre. Wouldn=B9t you like to join us? We have workshops every day and performances every night. Everyone spends a total of twenty hours (during the week) studying one aspect of live puppet theatre. At the end of the week, we have a =B3show and tell=B2 recital where everyone performs or displays what they have created during these intensive sessions. This year=B9s workshops include: "POLYFOAM PUPPETS THE FOAM BOOK WAY" with Drew Allison of Grey Seal Puppets, North Carolina Design, build and learn to manipulate your own polyfoam hand and rod puppet.
