Giving Away Theater

College Girl is back in full swing at school.  She is loving theater and has her hands full with several jobs.  Currently she is the Prop Head for the first play along with the sound board operator.  Add in that she is first camera woman for the improve group.  Today she had tryouts for the children's play that is coming up too.  So do you think she has any free time?  No!  Well, guess what.  That multi-talented lady is also providing us with information on Masterpuppet Theatre.  This is the coolest book, if you wish to think of it that way.  Actually it is the world of Shakespeare at your fingertips, well using your fingertips at least.  Since she is hoping one day to teach theater to kids, then here is a great start for her.  She can use this great set to help the kids learn how to put on their own lil works of art.  Well, theirs and that fantastic artist, William.

To be or not to be; that is the question. There are very few lines penned by The Bard that quite measure up to Hamlet's defining soliloquy. They are words I never thought I'd be able to truly perform - after all, Hamlet is not often a cross-gender-cast role. With Masterpuppet Theater, I finally have my chance - as well as a captive audience. Lol.
Masterpuppet Theater contains over sixty characters printed in their most dramatic full color poses on large cards. Two holes punched in the bottom allow the performer to turn their fingers into the character's legs.  From there, everything depends on the provided scenery, provided book of scenes, and vocal talent - not included. The scenes in the book are some of Shakespeare's best. Instructions at the top tell which of the characters (already color coded by play) to use and which of the twelve colorful backdrops to use. There are even directions included for replacement casting - which character card to use for a minor role not already included. Masterpuppet Theater seems to be a brilliantly interactive introduction to Shakespeare's works, appropriate for almost any age to watch and enjoy. Now, if you'll excuse me... {exits, pursued by a bear}
