P&T Puppet Theatre presents ‘The Elves and the Shoemaker’

The Almaden Branch Library presents "The Elves and the Shoemaker” Saturday at 3:30 p.m. The ever-popular P&T Puppet Theatre will perform the play.

This delightful program is based on the classic Brothers Grimm tale and in this adapted version, Jack Frost starts the show by singing and scattering snow to make it cold enough for the festivities to begin. The emcee is Jingles the Dwarf along with his sidekick, Grinny the Green-Nosed Reindeer and as a team they provide lively and outrageous banter.

At the conclusion of the show, Frosty the Snowman comes out and dances amongst the audience with his top hat popping off his head. This program will bring a smile to every child and adult who is a kid at heart. It takes place in the Community Room.
