Join us for Make Your Own Mermaid II
Hosted by The Mudlark Puppeteers

At The New Marigny Theatre

2301 Marais St

Mermaids are fascinating creatures and exist in some form in every culture of the world. Join Master Puppeteer Pandora Gastelum in this fun-filled week exploring mermaid lore and creating your own puppet mermaid for costume and performance!

Students will be introduced to a selection of mermaid stories from around the world. Working with clay, cardboard, paper mache, wire and fabric each participant will create their own mermaid, or work as a team to build a group puppet. These puppets can range from the small to the giant, and may be created as a wearable costume. All participants will be invited to participate in the Mermaid Parade on Saturday September 5th at the new Woldenburg Riverfront Park!
