The Mad River Libraries are proud to host a free, outdoor "Punch & Judy" puppet show by Modern Times Theater of Hardwick. The performance will be on the Warren Town Hall/library lawn this Saturday, July 9, at 4 pm.

This updated classic follows the troubles and travails of puppetry's favorite loudmouth, Mr. Punch. The skillfully operated hand puppets are made of garbage and up-cycled material, and are chock full of surprises and tricks, as is the elaborate stage. It's a low-tech old-time spectacle, entertaining to children of all ages: from one to one hundred. By taking the best from the long tradition of Punch and Judy shows, and bringing the art form into the 21st century, this classic remains alive, vital, and hysterical to both children and adults today.

This show is part of the Mad River Libraries' summer learning program "Oceans of Possibilities" and is supported with funds from the Vermont Department of Libraries.
