If you haven't seen the puppet exhibit at the Sonoma Community Center (276 East Napa Street), you still have two weeks to check it out! The run has been extended an extra week, and now the last day to see the exhibit is Sunday, April 22.
"World Literature through the Wonder of Puppets" features about 55 puppets from the collection at the Conservatory of Puppetry Arts (COPA) in Pasadena. Represented stories include: Alice in Wonderland, Hamlet, Othello, The Wizard of Oz, Peter Rabbit, Pinocchio, The Ramayana, Red Riding Hood, Rip Van Winkle and more.
If you know of a venue (library? school? community center? museum?) that might want to host "World Literature through the Wonder of Puppets," please contact Mary Decker at marydeck57  sbcglobal dot net or 650-361-131O. The exhibit can be doubled or tripled in size.
