Puppets and the legendary Baby Dee on June 29th

Post cd release show, I thought I’d see something light & playful in order to help me unwind and start to enjoy this summer. So errr, um… I chose to see something with murder, something with revenge, something pondering life and death and to bee-ing. Yep, it was Hamlet in Central Park and it was fantastic! Before the show, I bumped into the beautiful songwriter Baby Dee and we had a nice chat. THEN, the incredible Erin Orr was a puppeteer in the show- the play within the play was done with massive marionettes. Today Erin just sent along this email and I must pass it along. I highly highly recommend this, because it is guaranteed to be beautiful and it’s free!!

“I am pleased to announce the return of “Its a Bee, Honey!”, a musical puppet circus for all ages based on the real life drama of honey bees.

I will be joined by the legendary composer Baby Dee and her accordian, harp and giant tricycle, the amazing and beautiful Rima Fand as the violin playing princess bee, the multi-talented Silvi Wool who will astound you with her spinning poi ball bee wings and a chorus of children (with puppets that they made themselves) as the worker bees. There will also be large bee puppets and a puppet theater made from a real bee hive. ITS FREE AND ITS REALLY GOOD!

June 29th at 3PM
