PUTNEY — Sandglass Theater is celebrating the completion of our eighth Puppets in Paradise with our new partners at Retreat Farm. We had 11 regional puppetry and theater performers, five musical groups and solo performers, four local food trucks and additional refreshments grace the farmscape for a day of puppets, music, food, and community celebration.
This event, which serves as Sandglass' biennial fundraiser, would not be possible without the generous contributions of our many local volunteers, board members and friends.
Our deepest thanks and appreciation go out to:
All the artists, musicians, technicians and support people, who donated their art, skill, time and enthusiasm;
Retreat Farm, which not only made their facilities and staff available, but also made us feel so welcome;
The local businesses that supported the event through advertising, donations and contribution of goods;
The funders and sponsors, whose contributions and support made the event possible;
All the kind and hard working volunteers, who parked cars, helped with box office and ushered guests through the event. This event would not be possible without you.
The community hosts, who very generously housed the guest artists;
Sandglass's fabulous board of directors, who offered their graphic design skills, and the making/selling of baked goods and refreshing drinks;
And to all the members of our wonderful community who came out to take part in this special celebration of artistry, community and history.
In peace and puppetry,
