The Spirit of the Wood
On Mother's Day weekend, StoneLion Puppet Theatre unveiled The Spirit of the Wood. It’s a giant interactive puppet spectacle that the community helped build: a 20 foot monster of trash, 9 foot giant butterflies, 20 foot walking trees, and lots and lots of frogs.

Artistic director Heather Nisbett-Loewenstein provided this preview before a recent rehearsal on the lawn of the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art.
