Leopard Learns a Lesson by Magpie Puppets

About the Show What would you do if someone liked frightening their friends? Leopard loves to scare the other animals in the jungle, exclaiming “I just love scaring goofy little animals — that made my day!” One day, Rabbit turns the tables on Leopard with the help of her son and the jungle's two largest beasts, Elephant and Rhinoceros. Leopard learns, along with the audience, that cooperation works better than intimidation in this story inspired by a folktale from Malawi, Africa. Cute hand puppets, humorous quips, original music, and an anti-bullying message worth hearing make this one show you won’t want to miss! All ages welcome, especially enjoyed by ages 4-10 Hand puppetry and original music Length: 40 minutes Language: English From Stoneham! Created and performed by Maggie Whalen&nbsp; Original music by Alison Reid Plante ﻿July 25 (Thurs): <a href="http://111884.blackbaudhosting.com/111884/tickets?tab=2&amp;txobjid=17489be9-8446-4fc7-8c46-b22f1c1c4520" target="_blank">11:30 am</a> July 26 (Fri): <a href="http://111884.blackbaudhosting.com/111884/tickets?tab=2&amp;txobjid=c5de92b5-2c10-466d-a5e6-f24e795d40bc" target="_blank">10:00 am</a> | <a href="http://111884.blackbaudhosting.com/111884/tickets?tab=2&amp;txobjid=29acf025-f7d9-4741-811b-d9f78abb8667" target="_blank">11:30 am</a> July 27 (Sat): <a href="https://111884.blackbaudhosting.com/111884/tickets?tab=2&amp;txobjid=004380b5-13ff-44fd-aff6-20a8187ed1ab" target="_blank">10:30 am</a> About the Artist Maggie Whalen is the creator of<a href="https://www.magpiepuppets.com/" target="_blank"> Magpie Puppets,</a> a one-woman hand puppet theater based in Stoneham, Massachusetts.
