I highly recommend the Crabgrass Puppet Theater. They are based in VT and this is the last year they are touring CT, but take advantage if you can! The sets and puppets are amazing. They have several different shows, all literature based. You can read the book/s with the students ahead of time to make the performance even more meaningful. Jamie and Bonny are wonderful to work with as well. They are perfect for our PK-2 school. After their first year here, we have invited them back every year since to do a different show. There is no other group we have come every year. Can't say enough about how wonderful they are!

We are looking to book a performance for our K-1 students that is literature-based somehow.  The group (puppets? theater?) would come to our school.  Does anyone have any recommendations or ideas for contacts? TIA
