Elsenpeter Marionettes: Hansel and Gretel

The last two days, Ozark Regional has hosted Richard Elsenpeter from Elsenpeter Marionettes at six of our branches.  Richard put on a great show- Hansel and Gretel- for the crowds, charming his audience with classic storytelling, handcrafted marionettes, special effects, and a rare, old-world style of puppetry that originally began in Elen, Germany.

Richard talking to the kids about puppetry at Ironton.

Stumbling upon the witch's gingerbread house at our Steelville branch.

And don't forget!  Back by popular demand, hilarious magician, Teresa T., will be visiting our Steelville, Ironton, Ste. Genevieve, and Fredericktown branches on Thursday and Friday.  You won't want to miss out!  Check the clickable July calendar image in the left-hand column of this blog for specific times.
