I was a member of Bread and puppet theater from 1970 to 1976 and Elka gave us daffodil banners for our wedding.

I never have seen a protest be so creative...that’s so awesome! And I love this...

[@wondermentpuppettheater7095]

I saw a show in person. They are incredable. They do travel so try and catch a show when they are in your area.

Have always admired the artistry and political voice of Bread and Puppet Theatre. Have seen many performances and shared their work with our son and the actors of Serious Play Theatre Ensemble, Northampton too.. Great video history here.

Many happy memories up in Glover for the summer weekend event each year! Too many people showing up in the end with no interest in the root of the gathering and clueless about politics. Much love for Peter and family!

[@fredlyr1]

Well, i would hope that people get turned on to the politics. Elka and Peter know better than to ram the message down people's throats but i'd guess they've figured out sweet ways to "indoctrinate". Bless 'em!

I used to go with my family to Daniel's Pond and it was quite the trip when the VW buses and camper's invaded the town. Many great memories.
