What is Black light Puppetry!?

This month at the Burnhamthorpe Library we will be hosting a special guest for our T.A.G. meeting: Black light puppeteer, creator and talented puppetry performer Priscilla Lawrence!!

She will be looking for interested teens who want to learn to perform under black light and gain confidence with their technical and performing skills on the stage.

If you have never had the priviledge of seeing Black light puppetry in action here's a peek of what kind of wonders to expect. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KUClDu9eKD8

This kind of puppetry is done in a completely dark room with blacklights and flourescent paint.

Amazing!!!!!

The date for this gathering for TAG members and other interested teens is February 23rd at Burnhamthorpe Library at 5:00pm in the program room.
