MANHATTAN ARTS CENTER’S MACADEMY YOUTH THEATRE PRESENTS
THE PAUL MESNER PUPPETS IN St George and the Dragon SATURDAY, March 13 AT 4PM
The Manhattan Arts Center’s MACademy youth theatre program presents the Paul Mesner Puppets in St George and the Dragon on Saturday, March 13 at 4pm.
Paul Mesner puppets go back to the time of dragons, damsels and dungeons in this performance that features a princess named Georgette. Her father, the King, wants her to stay in the kitchen, do her needlepoint and get married. But Georgette has ideas of her own. The story unfolds as Georgette disguises herself as "George the Knight" who fights the earth-shaking dragon. Georgette conquers the dragon with brains and wit, which forces her father to recognize her true talents. The king sends her to college, and they all live happily ever after.
Paul Mesner has received the highest honor in puppetry for his work, being only one of five U.S. puppeteers in 1992 to receive an UNIMA/USA (Union Internartionale de la Marionette ) Citation of Excellence in Puppetry (an award created by Jim Henson).
Tickets are $10 for adults and $5 for children, and are available online or at the Manhattan Arts Center box office, 1520 Poyntz. Visit us on the web at www.manhattanarts.org, e-mail boxoffice@manhattanarts.org, or call 537-4420 for more information.
