March newsletter

Howdy from Red Yarn Productions! Another busy month has flown by, and March promises to be just as packed. Please find information below about special shows coming up (including several weekend dates), my regular show schedule in March, and spring afterschool classes. I'm especially excited for the March 9 debut of Sister Tricksters, a new library program inspired (and endorsed) by children's author Robert San Souci. A quick note for those of you looking for school age summer camps: I'm leading a puppet camp at KCLC from August 5-9 and a music camp at Friendly House from August 19-23. Visit their websites for more info.
