TONIGHT AND TOMORROW NIGHT you can LIVESTREAM our Italian puppet shows, straight from my farmhouse in Chenoa, Illinois!

The livestream begins at 7 PM Central Time both nights on YouTube. You can watch BOTH shows LIVE OR LATER (for 7 days) by simply making a donation at the link below. We’ll send you a link to watch both shows for one donation of $10 per person or $30 per device (and invite others to watch with you!) Here’s the link to donate:

- SATURDAY, August 2nd at 7 PM Central: “Saint Nicholas: An Italian Puppet Opera”
- SUNDAY, August 3rd at 7 PM Central: “The Grand Duel of Orlando and Rinaldo”
I’m so thankful to host these talented Italian Puppeteers at my home, Girolamo Botta and Alessandra Guadagna of Pupi Italici, who will perform with their hand-carved, hand-painted, and hand-costumed puppets.
I’m also glad to join them by playing the piano during their Saint Nicholas show—the backstory of the real-life Santa Claus. And it’s fun to watch the sword fighting and comedy of their traditional Italian show called The Grand Duel Between Orlando & Rinaldo.
Both shows are in Italian, but we’ll share the storylines in English, with pre-show and post show talks about the puppets and questions and answers. Join us!
