Puppets are coming to Mountain City Traditional Arts for the Spring Arts Walk! Ventriloquist, musician, composer, and performer Valerie Leonhart Smalkin was one of the writers, performers, and co-producers as well as the head puppeteer of the Emmy award winning television program It’s Kindertime on Baltimore’s ABC affiliate WMAR-TV 2. This interactive, family-friendly celebration of Spring features characters from Val’s Gold Medal Moonbeam Children’s Book Award-winning book Springtime Dance. In addition, Val will bring 5 three-foot tall Flamingo marionettes for a rollicking Pink Flamingo CanCan inviting audience members to operate the marionettes. Every other song features a puppet or marionette, and the remainder of the songs involve the audience singing, dancing, or both. It is appropriate for ages 3 to 93. The interactive and engaging performance introduces audiences to puppetry and ventriloquism through song and dance. The program is supported by a grant from the Maryland State Arts Council.
