Sandglass Theater's most beloved community event, Puppets in Paradise, returns to Retreat Farm September 4 & 5 with a rain date on September 6. Puppets in Paradise brings together artists and audiences for a two-day celebration of puppetry and theater arts set in the beautiful agrarian traditions of Southern Vermont. This will be a gentle and safe opportunity for audiences to return to in-person performance and meaningful engagement among audience and artists. The performances will traverse expansive farm grounds with artists and companies grouped along three different paths to allow for ample space to enjoy each of the performances. Entry times to the event are daily at 10 AM, 11:30 AM and 1:00 PM. Each pathway encompasses three short form performances culminating at the Farmhouse Square. In addition there will be time to visit some of the farm offerings such as pastured animals, food and refreshments including local food trucks—Dosa Kitchen and Jamaican Jewelz, and a puppet making station with artists from Sova Dance and Theater. Tickets for this free event are available at www.sandglasstheater.org/special-events/puppets-in-paradise
