What are you A specific program or project requesting funding for? Project/Program The Fabled Puppet Production project proposal is to provide free Summary community puppetry programs at the Carrboro and Hillsborough library locations by offering seven multicultural fables/fairy tales puppetry performances and three puppet-making workshops to positively benefit the community reflecting change and growth from last years offerings. The puppetry programs center around a monthly multicultural fairy tale/fable. The program starts with a story time picture book read aloud. Story time is followed by a puppet show which is an original script adaptation of the book. The puppet performances use the traditional hand puppet form of puppetry where the puppeteer is hidden from view. Graphic visual images (still and moving) are projected onto a screen and serve as backdrops/backgrounds and music/sound effects are used to enhance the story line and viewer experience. After the puppet performance, children craft puppet characters constructed out of paper to re-enact the story in the library and at home. Children will construct durable puppets to take home during puppet three making workshops that highlight three different styles of puppetry (shadow, marionette and hand/glove). The Fabled Puppet Productions project includes a total of 20 comprehensive puppetry arts programs- 10 at each library location. The grant funded community puppetry programs from July 2018- June 2019 were very successful with 809 children participating. Parent and site partner feedback was overwhelmingly positive with a 100% approval rate recorded on surveys given at the conclusion of each program.
