"The Perils of Mr. Punch, Episode #211: The Astro-Nut" follows the troubles and travails of puppetry's favorite loudmouths, Punch and Judy. In the latest episode, Mr. Punch attempts to be the first puppet to go to space. Of course nothing ever goes right--his wife Judy is more than happy to see him go, his rocket ship is made of cardboard, and crocodiles appear around every corner. The skillfully operated hand puppets are chock full of surprises and tricks, as is the elaborate stage. The show is rounded out with live music played on a variety of instruments. It's a low-tech old-time spectacle, entertaining to people of all ages: from one to one hundred.

Join us Saturday, June 22, at 1:00 p.m. at the Dummerston Community Center, 150 West Street, West Dummerston (off Route 30). To kick-off the summer reading program, "A Universe of Stories", Lydia Taft Pratt Library is bringing this entertainment to the Dummerston Community free, and inviting the public to attend. Afterward, children can sign up for the summer reading program in the library.
