The Frog Prince Puppetry Education Weekend The Frog Prince Puppet Show is a wonderful story brought to life in this amazing production of Bob and Judy Brown, which inspired the locally famous puppeteer and puppet-builder Joey Emory & his company, My Air Productions Puppets, in his unique adaptation of this wonderful story. You will love this fun adventure, which is great way to spend the afternoon for the entire family and sure to be a hit for those of all ages. Joey Emory BIO: Joey Emory has been a member of UNIMA International and Puppeteers Of America for over 55 years and has been active in puppetry since the 1960’s. His My Air Productions has created hundreds of characters and shows that have entertained thousands of people since the 1980’s, and his technical theater expertise has been utilized by performing troops throughout the world. You have to see this performance to truly realize the depth of this show for yourself. A perspective from Joey Emory; “I believe it’s easier to raise the level of the little people (kids) in the audience than get the adult (kids) to let go of their big kid inhibition’s and let their imaginations fly. So, I meet both of them somewhere in the middle. It’s always amazing to me to watch the child come out in the adults eyes, just as the easy wonder in the child’s eyes and the imagination in both of their eyes” that only Puppetry can provide. Don't miss this special community collaboration with this talented local artist, as he shares both education and performance.

You've never heard violin like this! The world's premier visionary violinist, Dixon's life mission is to inspire people, and he has done so at over 1,000 concerts across North America, including giving five TED talks/performances, over ten years at Burning Man and Electric Forest, plus radio, TV, and film appearances. A former technology leader and symphony violinist, Dixon walked away from a distinguished career to follow his dream full-time, and invented a whole new music genre. Dixon now improvises on a 5-string electric violin with a looping system he developed to create an all-live one-man symphony, guided by his remarkable personal story of life transformation.
