The Ethnic Arts Center will perform two showings of "Beastie, the Sea Serpent of Gloucester" Puppet Show on Thursday, August 11, 2011 at the Children’s Area of the Cape Ann Farmer’s Market in Stage Fort Park, Gloucester.
The first performance will be at 4:00 pm, to be followed by a repeat performance at 4:30 pm. This participatory Puppet Show is an historical interpretation of the events surrounding the sightings of Gloucester’s legendary sea serpent, and includes a happy ending, heretofore undiscovered.
This Puppet Show will include singing of the Beastie song, all 15 verses plus Chorus,
accompanied by a live musician, as the Puppet Show is performed. Attending children are invited to manipulate many of the props in the pantomime. Prior to the show, from 3:30 to 4:00 pm, children will learn the lyrics and practice prop manipulation for the show.
This production was funded in part by the Gloucester Cultural Council’s LCC grant from the Massachusetts Cultural Council. Admission is free.
