Summer Puppet Adventures : Get ready to blast off, set sail, and soar through summer with our annual adventure series! This production features exquisitely crafted puppets and is accompanied by Native American flute and drum.

This enchanting play is based on the life of the great Iroquois hero, Hiawatha.

A curious young boy, Hiawatha decides to disobey his grandmother and seek a vision, alone, in the forest.

There he finds a sacred cave and enters a magical world full of talking animals and fantastic spirits.

He meets a wise Mohawk, The Peacemaker, who teaches him a wonderful lesson.

At last, with the help of his friends Bear and Turtle, Hiawatha discovers the pathway he must follow to become a great man.

This production features exquisitely crafted puppets and is accompanied by Native American flute and drum.

Recommended for everyone ages 4 and up.

Since 1979, John Potocnik and Carol Mandigo, co-founders of the Catskill Puppet Theater, have been touring internationally, enchanting young and old with their delightful musical productions!

Combining backgrounds in art, music, drama and American folk culture they are one of the nation's finest touring companies, receiving accolades from such premiere venues as the Calgary, Winnepeg and Ottawa International Children's Festivals, The New England Puppetry and Family Theater Series, the New York State Museum's Kid's Series and hundreds more schools, libraries, fairs and festivals.

The Catskill Puppet Theater takes great pride in carrying on in the living tradition of the old traveling puppet troupes, bringing high quality children's theater to over 100,000 people each year!
