Puppetry/Poetry

PENELOPE BASS

8 pm., Thursday March 21 | Free.

Milepost 5

If you find poetry a little dry and inaccessible, you clearly haven’t tried it with puppets. Poet Deborah Poe (Keep) and writer Maryrose Larkin (The Identification of Ghosts) will read from their work. Michigan-based shadow-puppet artist Patrick Elkins will perform his newest work: a series of 101 shadow-puppet plays performed in less than 30 minutes. Let the magic begin.
