Steven Ritz-Barr – Pinocchio
Enjoy a historical story of Pinocchio – “The Adventures of Pinocchio” by Carlo Collodi from 1883, with updated commentary by professional puppeteer Steven Ritz-Barr. It is a darker, more profound version than the popular Pinocchio by Disney. It is filled with absurd puppet-humor and abstract slap-stick—and it is the real version.
Books and BlueRay DVDs of Steven Ritz-Barr’s puppet films – Pinocchio, plus Faust, Quixote, and Joan of Arc, will be available for sale.
12:00 – 1:30 pm
Lunch / Entertainment
Our Gifted Youth are welcome during lunch on Sunday to entertain the audience with song! There may even be a prepared musical show!
1:15 – 2:15 pm
Pirates Love Makeup – Leif Gantvoort
In the midst of the pandemic, Leif Gantvoort made a comedic video about a magic makeup brush to post online for his friends. Within 24 hours that video was illegally downloaded, reposted to Reddit, and went viral all over the world. In the end the video was seen close to a billion times and was recreated shot-for-shot in multiple different languages. In this firsthand account you’ll get an inside perspective on what it’s like to be responsible for fame and fortune and getting neither.
