Bread and Puppet Circus
Charlie called the other day and asked us to send some family pictures for his apartment and it got me thinking how few we have on this site. Actually, there aren’t any and I want to work on resolving this.
So here is a picture that’s in the boy’s room that I dearly love. At one point in our lives we lived in Northern Vermont in a small towm called Lyndonville. Charlie was born in the St. Johnsbury Regional Hospital just south of there. One of our neighbors to the north, in Glover, VT was the fabulous Bread and Puppet Circus and this picture was taken at their annual summer pageant called Our Domestic Resurrection Circus. That’s Max on the left and Charlie in my lap. Those were magical times for all of us and the Bread and Puppet Theater was and is a breath-takingly amazing performance.
What I didn’t know then and only found out years later was that the giant puppets used by Bread and Puppet Circus completely terrified Charlie, who was too young to realize that they were manipulated by puppeteers!!!
