As we get closer to the U.S. Social Forum and the debut of our giant Justin Dart puppet, there are less and less opportunities for community members to help in the collaborative creation of the puppet. But we want you to come out, no matter what your puppet-making experience is, and be a part of the process!
On Saturday May 22 from 10 a.m. - 2 p.m. we're inviting everyone to come out and paint the paper-mache head, work on the frame, sew his signature hat and boots, and make buttons to be distributed to crowds.
Come down to Matrix Theatre Company at 2730 Bagley in Detroit, MI 48216.
The puppet will not only be used at the Social Forum, July 26 marks the 20 year anniversary of the passing of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and we are gearing up to march around the country with the puppet that represents one of the key figures in making the ADA a reality.
Call 313-967-0999 for more information or send an email to Volunteer Coordinator Ken Srdjak at ksrdjak@matrixtheatre.org.
Whether you know a lot about Justin Dart's story or just a little, this is a great chance to come out and be a part of this art project that celebrates not only Justin Dart,
This may be one of the last chances for the community to work on the puppet, so please spread the word!
