The Carter Family Puppets will present their puppet show, “The Sorcerer’s Apprentice”  on July 5 at 1 p.m.  The performance is at a new location in the field across from the Farmers Market, adjacent to the Colin Goode Gallery.  Bring your own chairs pillows or blankets for seating, or just flop down on the grass.  Tickets are available at Blossoms, the Lopez Bookshop, or at the performance.

A traditional folktale,  poetically interpreted by Goethe, and later by Mickey Mouse in Disney’s “Fantasia”,  the Carter Family version stars the clown, Pulcinella as the bumbling apprentice who unleashes a watery torrent and a fantastical ballet of buckets and mops.  Will Pulcinella escape from the jaws of the crocodile in the sewers of Paris?  Will Pulcinella ever be reunted with Mimi, the butterfly girl?  Be sure to come with the whole family to find out!

Stephen and Chris Carter are the founding master puppeteers of the Northwest Puppet Center and Carter Family Marionettes.  They have toured the world with their “little people” for forty years and now live on Southend Lopez with their goats, chickens, ducks, and geese.
