We took the grandkids to the Northwest Puppetry Theater located in the Maple Leaf area. Three generations do all of the work behind the curtain. We've taken Andy before but not Sylvia. This production was an adaptation of a Sicilian fairytale using authentic wooden puppets. We sat on the stairs in the very front and despite fire-breathing dragons, turkey-flying witches, and lots of sword fighting knights....and crying from a few frightened kids in the audience...Sylvia and Andy were quite enthralled. Afterwards, they made their way to the stage to make sure they touched and admired each puppet. The playground in the theater's front yard allows their patient pint-size audience to let out steam after the performance. We love this theater (www.nwpuppet.org).
