New Bern Puppets at New Bern Mardi Gras

Today New Bern Puppets gave eight performances of “The Grunch Goes to Wonderland” at the Ghent community’s New Bern Mardi Gras. This show marked the debut of our new stages. We had large crowds at every performance.

It is a joy to see children engaged in and fascinated watching a good old-fashioned puppet show! After every show Dennis brought out a small marionette for children to touch and play with.

Though February, the temperature was 75 degrees and sunny. Such a wonderful community event!
