H.o.p. has this to say about the Center for Puppetry Art’s<\/a> production of “The Tortoise and the Hare”.<\/p>\n

It’s about this ship and it wrecked on an island and a bunch of animals came out of the ship, like a fox and a mouse and a tortoise and a rabbit and a crow with cheese in its mouth and a sneezing hen that goes kerchoo. There were two puppeteers. At the end suddenly the tortoise and the hare come on and the tortoise wins the race. The story of the Fox and Crow was told, and second was the Fox and the Grapes, and there was the Country Mouse and the City Mouse that was really fun. My favorite part was when the tortoise won, it was really funny. I thought it was great!!!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

H.o.p. said there were three buses of school kids there. “They were really loud!” But were good during the performance.<\/p>\n

A little girl took herself out of her school line and came over and stood in front of H.o.p. and smiled and stared and waved. He tends to have that effect on little girls. It was too loud for them to talk so they just smiled and wiggled their fingers at each other.<\/p>\n
