Hello, Friends!  Here's info about this year's Puppetfest Midwest.  It's a
great opportunity to take an intensive workshop.  I took Luman Coad's last
year, and it was incredibly helpful (thanks, Luman, if you're on this list)!

Hi Monica,
    This is Debbie Lutzky Allen. 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:
