By guest artist Jim "Nappy" Napolitano of Connecticut. Jack and the Beanstalk is based on the Appalachian folktale and is presented in a four part mini-series. In between this American classic there is a roller coaster ride of short stories, vignettes and songs from children's literature, traditional puppet theater, and the imagination of the puppeteer. The show features hand crafted shadow figures and is fast paced, action-packed, and full of laughs Recommended for Family Audiences.

By guest artist Paul Mesner of Missouri. True Story of the 3 Little Pigs by A. Wolf (used with the permission of Jon Scieszka) Think you know the real story behind the huffing and puffing? Think again. There’s only one individual who knows the true story about one wolf, three houses and three little pigs: Alexander T. Wolf. In this revealing no-squealing adaptation of Jon Scieszka’s popular book, A. Wolf has a chance to tell his side of the story. He only wanted a cup of sugar and he did have a cold. For years we have only known this story from the pigs point of view. Mr. A. Wolf tells all about what really happened to those three little houses made of straw, sticks and bricks and the three pigs who lived in them.
