ECHO’s PALS presents Strega Nona
Austin Public Library’s Theater Troupe Back for Third Season
Puppets and Libraries=Success!
Austin Public Library presents a series of puppet shows by the library’s own theater troupe ECHO’s PALS (Puppets and Libraries=Success!). Now in their third season the troupe will present Strega Nona—an Italian folktale.
Strega Nona is the hilarious tale of a wise old woman, a magic pasta pot, a not-too-smart young man, and the trouble that comes from learning the hard way that sometimes there really can be too much of a good thing.
