Puppet Show at Czech Museum will bring river to life
02-14-2008 | Family
The National Czech & Slovak Museum & Library has a big fish story to tell.
At 10 a.m. Saturday (Feb. 16) the Eulenspiegel Puppet Theatre Company will present a puppet show called “Sal Fink, Catfish Wrangler,” in the museum’s Grand Hall at 30 16th Ave. SW in Cedar Rapids.
The puppet show celebrates our rivers and prairies with tall tales starring Iowa folk heroine Sal Fink, legendary daughter of Mike Fink, the mighty keel boatman. Sal tames a tornado, teaches a bear to dance, and more.
The production features live music written and performed by Iowa musician Ron Hillis. A free make-and-take puppet workshop will follow.
Admission is free. Call 319-362-8500 for more information.
