Culture Crawl 862 “Doing Aerobics with Jane”

Monica Leo was there when Eulenspiegel Puppet Theatre began. Today she serves as managing director and lead puppeteer, as well as the artist behind many of their prints and set designs. Someone with so much history and experience would be well qualified to write a book, which is exactly what she did. “Hand, Shadow, Rod: The Story of Eulenspiegel Puppet Theatre” is out now!

Purchase your own copy at Ice Cube Press: www.icecubepress.com, or do a google search and purchase from anywhere it pops up.

You can also get a signed copy Friday, Oct. 6, 5-7pm at Monica’s book reading event at the Puppet Theatre in West Liberty.
