SUMMARY:Puppet Showplace Theater Presents: “Word Play” by Good Hearted Entertainment
DESCRIPTION:Dwayne Haggins\n\n\n\n\nUnCommon Corner\, Boylston St &\, Tremont St\, Boston\, MA 02116\n\n\n\nWord Play uses clowning\, puppetry\, and live original music to take audiences on an adventure through the alphabet. Words come to life in the hands of Honey Goodenough and Harry LaCoste\, who clown around with sounds and letters to create dozens of interactive characters and imaginative scenes. With an array of instruments by his side\, Paul Watkins sets the stage with live music for every magical moment. It’s the perfect blend of education and entertainment — a play on words\, literally! \n\n\n\nWord Play was inspired by creator Honey Goodenough’s experience learning to manage her own dyslexia and literacy challenges. Audiences can make friends with vowels\, teach tricks to a “C-A-T” and “D-O-G\,” and visit a whole “Z-O-O” full of surprises. \n\n\n\nPuppet Showplace Theater is Boston’s home for puppet show joy — with shows nearly every weekend\, for kids and adults\, just steps from the Brookline Village T stop! Puppet Showplace is dedicated to presenting outstanding puppetry to diverse audiences through performances\, workshops\, and community outreach. From children’s birthday party performances to provocative Puppets at Night shows\, our programming is designed to reach a large and diverse audience of all ages\, backgrounds\, and abilities.
