I was looking for a special place to take my visiting granddaughter last weekend and luckily a library patron asked to see a recent Newsday article about the Long Island Puppet Theatre and Museum. When I found the article, I couldn’t believe that I had never heard about the place before and it’s right next-door in Hicksville! It’s a charming, enchanted, colorful theater with puppet shows on weekends and during school vacations.
They will be showing The Little Mermaid, The Wizard of Oz and Punch and Judy during the next few months. They also hold BIRTHDAY PARTIES complete with favors and pizza. Get directions on their website www.lipuppet.com. It’s easy to find and reasonably priced!
