Wednesday: Puppet Show for Kids at the Flatbush Library

The geniuses behind last year's Hawthorne Street Block party performances of City of Hamburgers are returning to the neighborhood as part of the Brooklyn Public Library's Make A Splash! Summer Reading Program Celebration.

Alphabet Arts will be performing The Giant Squid and the Seagull, a shadow puppet show by Kali Therrien & Mandy Weiss at the Flatbush branch of the Brooklyn Public Library (22 Linden Blvd. btwn. Bedford and Flatbush (gmap)).

The play is based on the children's book of the same name by Sgott Mackenzie, which I hope will be available at the show.
