Hands 2 Grow's Fishtank Tales

Hands 2 Grow Puppet Productions is now performing their Summer 2010 show entitled "Fishtank Tales." Last Thursday the show was presented in Darboy's Harrison Buchanan Park east of Appleton. The day was dubbed Puppets in the Park. The afternoon began with playground program leaders and helpers working with the youngsters on building different types of puppets including paper bag puppets, finger puppets, and more. Hands 2 Grow Puppets were the feature performers of the day.

Fishtank Tales tells the story of Stan and Cynthia who have volunteered to keep the classroom aquarium fed and cleaned over the summer for the teacher. Unfortunately, Stan loses the instruction book and that leads to hilarious problems. Tthe fish in the aquarium -- Gil, Finn, and Bubbles -- share their opinion of the hijinks - especially when Stan tries to feed them salsa instead of fish flakes! In the photo above, the fish and a pirate are enjoying bathtub time as Stan and Cynthia try to clean the fish and the tank with bubble bath. Hands 2 Grow is based in Appleton but travels across northeast Wisconsin and the Midwest.

Happy summer to all!
