Brilliant opening night last night. Here are pics of puppeteers Brown, BlueInk Puppetry and Young and their puppets. They're posted on the landing on the way up to the third floor at the Almonte Old Town Hall. There are still a few tickets left for tonight's performance. Besides the great show, it's cool in the Old Town Hall and Dairy Distillery is giving away free samples of Vodkow - both the maple cream and coffee cream are to die for LOL :)

Puppets backstage at the Almonte Old Town Hall. They'll soon be up and at em in today's dress rehearsal. They look cool, calm and collected don't they? I wonder if the puppeteers are equally so...?

05/10/2022

All 21 Hound puppet props lined up backstage and ready to go. Tech rehearsal scheduled to start in four minutes. Two minutes now...
Update: the Hound's Prop Mistress Christine Moses is doing a fabulous job of managing all of these bits and pieces

Predictably, the Hound show includes a red herring. Strangely, the red herring looks more like a yellow sturgeon, but never mind. It's a fish. I guess that's what counts LOL :P
