Spring Egg Hunt at Duke Homestead

New Bern Puppets gave four holiday shows at Duke Homestead State Historic Site in Durham as part of their Spring Egg Hunt. The show featured our pesky Grunch who tries to lock up the White Bunny who distributes basket of eggs and candy.

We spoke to the crowd before each performance and gave a short talk about puppetry and demonstrating how marionettes operate. After every show Dennis emerged to show children a marionette and allowed everyone the chance to hold and operate it.

The weather was gorgeous and we had big crowds to watch the puppets and hunt for eggs.
