Puppet Show

Three Friends and Climate Change

Sunday, April 7th, 2019 @ 1:30 pm

Everett Roehl Marshfield Public Library JP Adler Room

Presented by ICE (Interfaith Community for the Earth), The Three Friends and Climate Change is a 22-minute puppet show based on the Three Little Pigs. The characters are engaging and the message is clear: How we choose to live makes a difference and everything works out better if we work together. Laid-back Lucy, Comfort Charlie and Caring Coyote meet on a home tour. Each friend is looking for something different in finding a place to live. The Sun tells the friends to remember that the climate is changing, and where you live affects everything around you. But, not everyone listens to the Sun. Join us to see how the three friends learn to live in harmony with Mother Nature. Presented with the support of First Presbyterian Church. ICE is a group of people of many faiths working together to educate and advocate sustainable practices for the well-being of the earth and its inhabitants.
