Mr. Punch, the world's oldest clown, never knows when enough is enough! He's always making a mess of himself and his environment. When Punch finds himself living in a trash heap, he needs the help of smart children and their smart parents to learn how to make do or do without.

Modern Times Theater delights family audiences with their handmade wooden and papier-mache puppets, in a modern Vermont update of the age-old Punch and Judy show. There will be live acoustic music on a variety of instruments, from the ukulele to the bicycle pump, as well as a thrilling puppet show, all calculated to delight and enlighten both children and their folks.

Rose Friedman and Justin Lander have been making and performing puppet shows together since 2003. They are co-founders of Vermont Vaudeville, Vermont's premier Vaudeville troupe. Librarians say Modern Times Theater "engages all ages with their superb talent, wit and enthusiasm", and "you must, must see them in person"!

Appropriate for all ages (best for 4-10)
