Pumpernickel Puppets presents a lively adaptation of Beatrix Potter’s well-loved tale. Join adventurous and naughty Peter Rabbit, who against his mother’s wishes ventures into Mr. McGregor’s garden for a taste of his favorite vegetable treats. He nearly escapes being made into rabbit stew with the help of his tag-along little sister Flopsy. This colorful and fun production is presented with large hand puppets, live voices and sound effects. Recommended for ages 3+. Runtime is approximately 40 minutes.
Pumpernickel Puppets, led by John McDonough, has been producing humorous and colorful adaptations of classic folk and fairy tales for over forty years. They present over two hundred fifty shows a year throughout New England. Pumpernickel Puppets have appeared at The Smithsonian Institution, the Center for Puppetry Arts, the International Festival of Puppetry sponsored by the Jim Henson Foundation, and were featured in the Ballard Institute's 2019 exhibition Living Objects: African American Puppetry.
