NPL Puppet Truck: Hansel and Gretel

The Nashville Public Library's Puppet Truck is bringing Hansel and Gretel to the Edmondson Pike branch on Monday, October 5, from 10:30 to 11:00 AM. It's a half-hour show, and it's just one stop on a longer run—the Puppet Truck is touring the story across various library branches throughout October, so if you can't make this particular morning, you'll have other chances to catch it later in the month.

The production is put on by the Peeko Puppets, who take the classic Brothers Grimm tale on the road. The story follows two siblings facing challenges that test their courage in difficult times, and the Peeko Puppets bring it to life with their particular style of puppetry. It's a short performance—about thirty minutes from start to finish—which makes it easy to fit into a morning with kids.

The Puppet Truck is part of the library's broader programming for families, listed alongside their free events, indoor activities, puppet shows, and storytimes. It's a touring show, so rather than one fixed venue, it moves from branch to branch across the city over the course of the month. The Edmondson Pike stop is on Monday, October 5, from 10:30 to 11:00 AM, and tickets are $4 to $10.
