 with the support of the Boston Parks and Recreation Department is pleased 
 to re-introduce a wonderful Boston tradition on the Common. This endeavor 
 was underwritten by a grant from the M. Holt Massey Charitable Trust. It i
 s an exciting new and free children's program called Puppets on the Common
  that will take place at the Parkman bandstand on Thursday August 18th at 
 2:30 PM and Thursday August 25th at 2:30 PM. Children of all ages will be 
 delighted by the artistry of Master puppeteer\, Charlotte Dore\, of Rosali
 ta's Puppets. The performance on August 18th will be &ldquo\;Rosalita and 
 the Giant Bugs&rdquo\; and &ldquo\;Aesop's Fables&rdquo\; is scheduled for
  the 25th.\n \nThe Parkman Bandstand is located near the Boylston Street S
 ubway Station off of Tremont Street\, near the tennis courts. If the weath
 er is fair\, bring a blanket or chair\; If the weather is rainy\, up to 30
  children can be accommodated under the Parkman dome on a first-come\, fir
 st-served basis. All children must be accompanied by an adult.\n \nAlthoug
 h it is being touted as a new pilot project\, Puppets on the Common is rea
 lly a return to the time honored tradition of puppet shows on Boston Commo
 n that took place as early as 1883. Puppet theaters grace famous parks aro
 und the world such as the famous Guignole Puppets in Paris\, the feisty Pu
 nch and Judy shows of London\, as well as a variety of puppet shows in nea
 rby Central Park in NYC (which boasts its own puppet theater imported from
  Sweden).  Puppets are popular in China and India\, as well\, and who will
  ever forget Julie Andrew's puppet yodeling the &ldquo\;Song of the Lonely
  Goatherd&rdquo\; set in war-torn Austria in the film\, Sound of Music?\n
