Mimsy the Fairy - A Puppet Show
This is a puppet show I wrote for a Kindergarten girl's birthday party. Many of the jokes were written with an adult audience in mind, so it would be more appropriate for a setting with adults and their children than a classroom setting. If you are interested in seeing a performance of this puppet show, then visit Mimsy the Fairy Princess on Vimeo or google "Mimsy the Fairy Princess." Our performance lasted about 15 minutes.
