Puppet theatre is an integral part of Slovak and Czech local theatre and literary tradition. It also plays an important role in socialization, helping performers to develop as creative thinkers and learn about cooperation, communication and to strengthen their sense of identity in society . . . And sometimes, it's just fun! Hope you can join us on Monday, August 12 as we take a glimpse into the world of Czech puppetry when Divadlo Radhost (Radhost Theatre) comes to Temple -- the only Texas stop on the group's 2024 US Tour. Admission is $10 for adults and free for persons under the age of 18. Doors open at 5 p.m. for visiting with a musical backdrop provided by the University of North Texas Chamber Ensemble. The professional theater for children and young people has been operating in Brno since 1949 and offers a repertoire of productions aimed at children from the age of 6 months to young people and adult audiences. Thanks for your "Share" and helping us spread the word!😊

Museum and genealogy library dedicated to the Czech and Texan cultures.
