Dec. 2, 2011 - PRLog -- Virginia Meldahl, will perform on December 09, at 7 pm on Second Friday Art Walk in the Focal Point Gallery. Her touring stage, “The Merry Hearts Puppet Theater” shares international folk tales.

A mean Norwegian troll lurks under a bridge to eat billy goats.  A Japanese mouse falls in love with another mouse against her parent’s wishes.  A little Russian girl must escape from a witch’s house in the forest! Two bad English mice rob a dollhouse and learn a valuable lesson in a Christmas story inspired by Beatrix Potter.
      Virginia Meldahl, an artist, performer and educator, brings these tales and more to the Focal Point Gallery in December, 2011. Her touring stage, “The Merry Hearts Puppet Theater” shares international folk tales in a fun, colorful, interactive format.  Shows are suitable for ages 3-7, but all ages are welcome.
      Founded in 1996, “Merry Hearts Puppet Theatre,” features animal and people puppets in a wide variety of international folk tales. Virginia was inspired by a childhood spent in Japan and Thailand, and her international travels to create a fun format which encourages children to respect and enjoy many cultures. Shows may include her own hand-built Japanese puppets, a variety of Southeast Asian wooden rod puppets and marionettes, shadow puppets, and a large number of animal glove puppets. Audience participation is strongly encouraged and the shows are fun for all!
