Project Overview
Schiffelly Puppets presented their puppet show, “Rapunzel, Rapunzel, Let Down Your Golden . . . Stair?: Or, This Isn’t a Mother Goose Tale, Folks.” Schiffelly Puppets' Entertainment Programs brought the art of puppetry to community groups and organizations throughout the Upper Midwest. Comic situations and original puppet characters were added to classic fairy tales creating an action packed entertainment extravaganza. These humorous and fun-filled shows were appropriate for the entire family—babies as young as 3 months and adults as old at 92 attended the shows.
