Avanti, Da Vinci! - Center for Puppetry Arts

Performance
See a show. Make a puppet. Tour the museum. All activities at the Center
work together for a comprehensive learning experience. Most family productions
during the 2005-06 season were based on beloved, classic works of literature and
storytelling, and the New Directions Series continued to present original works
for teen and adult audiences.
