Eulenspiegle Puppets: The Big Election

Overview

Join the Grinnell College Museum of Art's Outreach Program for a special session of Storytime Art in the Park! Eulenspiegel Puppets will present a free performance, "The Big Election!"

Find out who will win the big election for Leader of the Beasts? Will it be Benny P. (for Progress) Beaver or Terry E. (for Environment) Turtle? Listen to their stump speeches and decide who YOU want to vote for! But how about that colony of ants? There are a zillion of them; they could change the outcome! And Worm: will her vote count for anything? Madame Owl will keep you informed with her reports from the top of a tree! In addition to being fun and entertaining, this show will activate kids’ interest in our election process. It includes a mock election with paper ballots that will be collected during the show and counted by “The Bunny Board of Elections.” The candidates and issues are clearly defined and the news media are represented by Madame Owl’s Reports. Kids get a paper ballot, an “I voted” sticker, and a few other goodies. They learn a catchy song about voting.
