color:black'>Hello to my fellow librarians in Oregon. At the Albany
Public Library, we are trying to schedule performances of Little Red Riding
Hood by the Eulenspiegel Puppets of Iowa as part of their tentative tour
of the Northwest in early August. In order to make this tour work, the
troupe needs to schedule at least 10 shows in this area, at $300 each. I
have seen the show performed at a puppetry festival, and I was very
impressed. It uses Bohemian-style marionettes and an incredible set and
scenery that is an enormous pop-up book. This is a great
price! The puppeteers need to book the shows by January 11, or they
will have to cancel the 2010 tour, and book August shows in their home area
instead.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

during the week of August 2-9? If so, what days and times would work for
your schedule?<o:p></o:p></span></p>

color:black'> Eulenspiegel's adaptation of this beloved Grimms fairy tale
uses delightfully <br>
crafted miniature Bohemian marionettes created by puppeteer Monica Leo.
The set <br>
is an extra-large pop-up storybook also designed and created by
Leo. The <br>
script, laced with wit and whimsy, was written by puppeteer Teri Jean
Breitbach. <br>
The production was directed by well-known director Michael Sokoloff. In <br>
addition to seven puppets, the cast includes a wacky, flamboyant storyteller
who <br>
relates to the audience as well as the puppets.<br>
<br>
Eulenspiegel's Little Red Riding Hood stays close to the original story
line <br>
while adding delightful details. Shiver with Little Red as she meets the
wolf. <br>
Help Granny as she does her laundry. Rejoice with the woodcutter as he
saves <br>
Granny and Little Red. Enjoy the happy ending!<o:p></o:p></span></p>

color:black'>I recently concluded a tour of libraries in Albuquerque with this
show, and it <br>
was extremely well received by audiences of all ages. If you’d
like, I can put <br>
you in touch with my contact there.<br>
<br>
Although it’s a small show, it plays well for surprisingly large
audiences (I <br>
once did it for an entire school-300+ kids!)<o:p></o:p></span></p>
