Second Descent: Persephone's finds another puppet show
A LITTLE SUMMER STORY: puppet show found in basement.
Another puppet show. IMAGE TO FOLLOW
Back down to the basement. Moving stuff around. The Task is overwhelming to say the least.
I find a nice batch of Shtetl puppets on a stick from a class I found a long time ago and tucked into all that is a plastic bag with a former address almost faded out...address from a while ago.....but the themes remain.. that of the seasons.
It's a funny little puppet show that I based on a little brown bag I found with a clear plastic window. Originally I held the bad and stuck the puppet pieces in.
......the images....boots....cold...snow..more snow...hats...scarf....more snow...cold....and then sultry summer images of heat...summer..swimming..sweating...svitzing...yiddish word for sweating...( Remember as Leo Rosten said: "Yiddish has more vitamins than other languages!!" One of my dad Jim's favorite quotes...somehow so much of what I am doing in the basement leads back to him..more than to my mother..although she figures into it all as well...
He was a raconteur, a conversationalist, Always the Star of the party as he hit the Anvil of Conversation again and again and made Sparks Fly!!! Always a Texan, always an intellectual, always the son of a poor farmer who got the call to preach,
And the name of the puppet show is; A Little Summer Story. I originally told the story from the point of view of Hot Summer...but having found this show which is undated I tell it from the point of view of Winter and then remembering Summer. It is small, it is cute and it is suited for an audience of about 2 or 3 people. I "performed" it this past sunday for an audience of about 3 people. That was just about right.
