Children's Theatre: Kids Fringe

Wednesday, July 21st, 2010

My hometown of Winnipeg is in the throes of its annual Fringe Theatre Festival which has a great component called Kids Fringe.  Today I was lucky enough to get tickets for a great show called Four Wishes by Gunstwork Puppet Mask Theatre.  Four Wishes tells the story of four men of the Wabanaki Nations and the four wishes they are granted by Gluskabe, their protector.  Puppeteer Michael Gunst performed this story(adapted from a story by Joseph Bruchac) with his hand-made puppets in a charming and engaging fashion that completely captivated my daughter and I.  Gunst hails from Colorado and tours his shows to schools and festivals, so if you ever get a chance to see this performance, I highly recommend it!
