Puppets do Potter

Two of Beatrix Potter’s most beloved stories come to life this month at Queens Theatre in the Park.

On March 12, the Hudson Vagabond Puppets perform “Jemima Puddle-Duck” and “The Story of the Fierce Bad Rabbit” in a puppet ballet filled with astonishing costumes and masks and set to music by William Walton.

It’s an imaginative performance that does justice to Potter’s vivid children’s classics.

“Jemima Puddle-Duck” and “The Story of the Fierce Bad Rabbit” at Queens Theatre in the Park [Flushing Meadows Corona Park, beside the Queens Museum, the Ice Skating Rink and the Unisphere, (718) 760-0064], March 12 at 11 am and 1 pm. Tickets $12. For info, visit www.queenstheatre.org.
