Unedited Video of 2014 Esopus Creek Puppet Suite Our
Our 2014 Esopus Creek Puppet Suite materialized for several evenings last month. It was brought to life by twenty-five artists and volunteers, enjoyed by hundreds of audience members, and then vanished like a dream. You can, however, view Bart Friedman’s complete unedited video of the production and Jim Peppler’s photos.

Longest Running Show Takes To The Mountains
CITY THAT DRINKS THE MOUNTAIN SKY (STDTMS), the longest running show in our repertoire, portrays New York City’s water supply system in the Catskill Mountains. This fall we’ll be bringing CTDTMS to seven Catskill region schools, thanks to a grant from the Catskill Watershed Corporation. Participating schools include Roxbury Central School, Jewett Windham Ashland Central School, Margaretville Central School, Woodstock Primary School, Delhi Central School, Townsend Elementary in Walton, and Bennett Intermediate School in Boiceville.
Ambitious Season Ahead!
We’re planning an ambitious and eclectic season ahead. New productions for 2015 include:
- Hook, Line & Sinker: Fishing the Hudson River – A contemporary chronicle of fishing lore for community waterfront events. This project is part of the Hudson River Fish Advisory Outreach Program.
- Good Dirt – A puppet extravaganza exploring food, farming and the secret life of the soil.
- The Odyssey & Other Classics – A potpourri of famous tales for libraries and small venues.
Artists-In-Residence
Our Artist-in-Residence Program will set up shop in three schools this fall: Seymour Smith School in Pine Plains, NY (October), King School in Stamford, CT (November), and Morse School in Poughkeepsie, NY (December). For those of you in the trenches of public education: We have received a multi-year grant from the NYS Council on the Arts that can underwrite up to 50% of the cost of a residency program. Contact us for further details.
Esopus Creek Our New Digs
Construction is underway on a second floor within a large storage building adjacent to our Esopus Creek studio. This will provide an additional 1200 sq. ft. of clean, dry space for our ever-expanding menagerie of paper-mache’ characters. Most significantly, the space is above the reach of future flood waters. The project is made possible through a grant from the Hudson River Improvement Fund.
New Website Emerges From Vandals
Check out our new website designed and hosted by David Radovanovic of whatsthebigidea.com. It was compiled and launched over the summer after our former site was overtaken by vandal-bots.
