From September 18 to October 6, stop by daily between 12:00 noon and 8:00 pm to meet a crew of quirky characters. Visit often to meet the whole cast and see what each puppet has up their sleeve. Everyone has a unique personality: Breeko delights in words, EdGar enjoys playing games, Kevin loves to sing, Bill William appreciates a good one liner, Wendell is always trying to figure things out, and Ollie is a bit of nut. Come and join in on the fun at Pearl and Monroe! More info at: www.artprize.org/cooperfly-puppet-troupe/2013/puppets-at-pearl-and-monroe or www.tomatocollection.com Artist Statement: We are Grand Rapids artists creating spontaneous interactions between people and puppets. We're performing this age-old form of art both inside and alongside our repurposed material, hand-made puppet theatre. We are interested in the actions and reactions of those around us, and so we created an environment into which people can join and take part in conversations, games, and songs. We hope people laugh with us, think with us, dream with us. We hope people pause... and simply enjoy their moments with us. We are the Cooperfly Puppet Troupe performing Puppets at Pearl and Monroe.
