A new festival is coming to the Bloomington scene this spring. Bloomin' Puppetfest, Bloomington's first festival of puppetry and related arts, will take place April 30 and May 1, 2004. Bloomin' Puppetfest celebrates the Puppeteers of America's National Day of Puppetry and the diversity of the Bloomington community, from which it takes its name. Several venues around the city will host Bloomin' Puppetfest workshops, events and activities, including Third Street Park, the Allison-Jukebox Community Center, the John Waldron Arts Center and the Bloomington Playwrights Project. Activities planned include puppet shows, performance workshops, storytelling, kid's crafts, circus arts, a cappella music, juggling and more. This years guest of honor is John E. Kennedy, author of Puppetmania! and puppeteer for Henson and Disney. Visit his website at www.puppetkit.com. Performers who have already committed to the festival include the Bloomington Storyteller's Guild, Tonecutters Barbershop Chorus, i Scandali Commedia dell Arte Troupe, Stevens Puppets, Adzooks Puppets, Roberts Marionettes, Fred Cowan Puppets, Bloomington Community Circus and Klingel-Engle Puppets.
