July 2 will be the last show for Peewinkle’s Puppet Studio at the Indiana State Museum. Peewinkle’s founders Peggy Melchior Pearson and Debbi White will perform Summertime Cabaret in three performances.
Peewinkle’s Puppet Studio has been in existence for 23 years, previously housed in a little theater on Henry St., less than a block outside of the Mile Square, and for the past 3 years at the Indiana State Museum.
Melchior Marionettes (with a multi-generational history of puppetry) and Hands in Puppets, the two companies that formed Peewinkle’s, have been around 47 years. Until closing in 2018, Peggy operated Melchior Marionettes in Nashville seasonally for 34 years.
The Indiana State Museum has other plans for the space. At this time, Peewinkles does not have plans to reopen in a new venue.
The morning show on July 2 has been sold out, so two afternoon shows (1 p.m. and 3 p.m.) have been added. Tickets are $8 and popcorn is free. Don’t miss this chance to see Peewinkle’s performing a cabaret style show one more time. Order your tickets before they sell out.
