Into the Rainforest at Thomas Ford



We welcomed master puppeteer Marilyn Price to our Library for a Saturday puppet show. She performed her "Into the Rainforest" show, an ecological treasure chest of stories told with recycled puppets featuring the plight of the Rainforest as well as local opportunities to save and protect this world.

Stories included included: I Shot My Arrow in the KanKan Tree, Guara Diva Saves the Trees, and The Kapak Tree.

We were most pleased to receive a grant from the Illinois Arts Council, a state agency. They provided partial funding for this wonderful cultural opportunity.

More pictures are available on our Flickr site. Enjoy!
