Tonight I took my 4 year old son to the Five Forks Trickum Library Branch to see the American Kasper Theatre production of Kasper and the Chrismas Present.If you missed it, and you probably did, don't worry - you can catch another performance Thursday, December 13th at 7 pm at the Collins Hill Library Branch in Lawrenceville.
If you don't have kids, borrow someone else's kids and make sure you go. Heck, go by yourself without a kid if you have to - you will have a great time and it's paid for by the Gwinnett Library System!
The show is appropriate for anyone over age 4. Do not take children younger than 4 - it is most suitable for children PreK/Kindergarten age and up. Younger kids will get bored and will probably be disruptive. I know I was glad I didn't bring my 2 year old!
I really literally laughed out loud though, which did me a lot of good after being sick for the last couple months. It's amazing how good that can make you feel.
You can read all about the German tradition of Kasper puppetry at professional puppeteer Franklin Bunn's website, www.AmericanKasper.com
The Kasper puppetry is different from the English Punch and Judy type of puppetry. It's like German folk tales with a moral lesson. The website will explain it all to you!
"Just go, ya little stinkies pffft!" (you'll understand that after seeing the show too)
