Hiya Friends!
It's your favorite, furry and fabulous, friend, Bella Monster and I’m ready for some fun in the sun! This is going to be the best summer yet, I can feel it! You must have heard about our Puppet Adventure Series —we're putting up nine fun and unique shows throughout the summer that will excite and inspire you! 

I'm also going to be going on my own adventures too! Each week I'll be seeing a puppet show and then traveling around the city finding other awesome things to do that will help me learn even more. I'll be posting all about it here on the Puppet News Blog and there will be lots of giveaways so I can share my adventures with you. You can follow us on Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook to stay updated. Get ready for summer, and get ready for Bella’s Summer Adventures!

To kick off my summer of awesome, I’m starting out by going to see Help Save the Monkey! at Puppet Showplace Theater, where I'm going to learn all about outer space, and a funny little monkey who needs to be rescued.

DATES AND TIMES: 
July 1 @ 10:30am and 1pm
July 2 @ 10:30am and 1pm
July 3 @ 10:30am and 1pm

ABOUT THE SHOW:

8-year-old Howard and 80-year-old Lillian must rush to save a monkey who is about to land on Earth from outer space. Their unexpected friendship help them overcome obstacles and self-doubts as they travel through tunnels, fly through the air, and sneak past dangerous lasers. But will they make it in time? Find out in this sublimely silly new show featuring skillful puppetry, original music, hilarious dance breaks, and plenty of fake mustaches. 

Performed by Liz Hara and Marta Mozelle Macrostie

BELLA'S BOSTON ADVENTURES

THEN, to learn even MORE about outer space I’m going to take an adventure to outer space myself—at the Museum of Science! This summer the Museum of Science Planetarium in Boston is showing Big Bird’s Adventure: One World, One Sky where you can go on a tour of outer space with your favorite Sesame Street characters! 

And, the best part of this adventure is that you get to go on it too! Yes—that’s right! You and your family can enter to win passes to Big Bird’s Adventure too, so we can both learn about space with my furry monster puppet friends! Follow us on Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook to learn about how you can enter!

Finally, to end my adventure I’m going to make my very own DIY Monkey Puppet, just like the one I saw in Help Save the Monkey! at Puppet Showplace. You can make your own too. Check out our DIY Puppet Craft Page to learn how!

Alright, I'm blasting off! See you at the show!

p.s. Make sure to check back next week. I'm going to be seeing Pinocchio and learning all about Italian culture!
