Sometimes school can seem like a three-ring circus; just ask any teacher! Under Peter’s big top, beautifully crafted marionettes dance, juggle, and swing from the trapeze. Once the circus is over, students get a peek behind the scenes as Peter reveals some secrets of how the puppets in the show are made. The performance has the flexibility to be presented as an Early Release Day treat, School Arts Festival attraction, or in-depth school assembly program connecting to math, library, and reading. A study guide featuring math and English/language arts exercises can be accessed online.
