Event Details:The Office of the Arts is hosting a series of monthly family-friendly puppet shows at the Durant Center, 1605 Cameron St., Alexandria, VA. The puppet show series is designed especially for the very youngest of audiences, so toddlers are welcome.

On Saturday, October 19, two shows will be offered 10 a.m. and 11:15 a.m. The Beech Tree Puppets will perform, “The Giant Turnip." This humorous and whimsical folktale celebrates care for the earth and working together. An old man and his wife who, after lovingly preparing and tending their garden, grow a vegetable so large they can’t pull it up by themselves. Artfully told and sung, with hand-crafted rod and shadow puppets. Classically trained singers, Ingrid and Ole Hass, delight audiences with their spellbinding show.
