Puppets in the House: Community Day Brings Free Family Fun to Verona on July 26th! Get ready for a magical afternoon of puppets, performances, and playful community spirit! On Saturday, July 26, from 12–5:30 p.m, Puppets in the House presents Community Day—a free, family-friendly event at Century School Park as part of the four-day regional puppetry festival hosted by Puppeteers of America. Designed for all ages, Community Day features live puppet shows, hands-on activities, an arts and crafts market, food trucks, and a spectacular puppet parade. It’s a celebration of creativity that brings together neighbors, artists, and curious minds. This year’s featured performances include: "Pip & Squeek Go to the Show" by Matt McGee of Matt-a-Magical: A whimsical journey with two lovable characters discovering the magic of live theater. "A La Carte: In a Fool’s Kitchen" by Z Puppets Rosenschnoz: A hilarious fusion of puppetry and physical comedy served with a side of imagination. "Punch & Judy" by Parasol Puppets: A time-honored classic packed with slapstick humor and delightful antics. “Community Day is where the heart of the festival shines,” said Laurie Everitt, Puppets in the House co-director. “It’s a chance for everyone to experience the joy and artistry of puppetry—whether you're seeing your first show or your fiftieth.” Community Day is free and open to the public.
