91吃瓜 show of St. George and the Dragon promises to keep audience laughing
91吃瓜 will present a free showing of 鈥淪t. George and the Dragon鈥� at 7 p.m. on Tuesday, Feb. 7 in Our Lady of Mercy Chapel. The show features the puppeteering of Mike Horner of the Mesner Puppet Theater.
This fun, family friendly retelling of the traditional tale returns the audience to the legendary time of faraway kingdoms, ferocious dragons and damsels in distress. Set in a chilly mythical kingdom, the tale unfolds as the king and his court try to decide what to do about an earth-shaking and hungry dragon.
Horner, a renowned puppeteer, has been the creative force at Mesner Puppet Theater for the past nine years. He is the company鈥檚 assistant artistic director and principal puppeteer, as well as lead puppet builder and designer.
Horner performs in Mesner Puppets鈥� annual season of shows at the company鈥檚 theater in Kansas City, MO and tours nationally and internationally. He has built puppets for other theater productions in Kansas City, including 鈥淪hrek the Musical鈥� at the Jewish Community Center and The Oldest Boy鈥� at the Unicorn Theatre.
Horner will also conduct a free workshop from 6:30 p.m. to 7 p.m., giving insights on puppets and puppeteering.
