Josiah goes to a puppet show

I know, one does not think highly of puppet shows - but I now do! The Open Eye Theatre does some AMAZING work here in Minneapolis!

Josiah was able to see the The Adventures of Katie Tomatie at the Fair Oaks Park ( near our old place) with Anne and Matt. I unfortunately, had to go to work at that time to catch my bus to work. But Josiah really loved the show, and so did Anne and Matt. So I am glad that he was able to go, and that the theatre group has many sponsors ensuring their work meets the public.

They will also perform two of their shows ( including this one) at the Powderhorn Art Fair the first weekend in August.

The story line according to their website:

Little Katie is looking forward to a ‘do-nothing’ first day of summer vacation. Her plans take a 180 when she accidentally digs up Mr. Boo Boo, a wacky skeleton ready for adventure. Their hijinks turn Katie’s ‘do-nothing’ day into the best summer day ever.
