March 8 | 12 – 2pm
In this hands-on puppet making workshop, youth ages 5 through 15 are invited to make puppets based on the characters in the Purim story. After the puppets are constructed, we will use them to create little shows inspired by the holiday. Puppeteer and Jewish educator Ora Fruchter will guide us through making puppets and teach about the Purim story. Families and youth are encouraged to come in costume!
Ora Fruchter is a theater-maker, puppeteer, director and educator. Her most recent show, The Amazing Story Machine, uses found object puppets to celebrate imagination and collaboration. She is the recipient of a Jim Henson Foundation Family Grant, a Young Pioneers Award for innovation in Jewish education, and was selected as one of the Jewish Week’s 36 Under 36 (2017). www.orafruchter.com
