This year was Mettawee Theater Company’s 45th anniversary! Mettawee has given so much joy to audiences all around upstate NY and employed and fostered so many amazing artists over their 45 years.

However, like most things this year, the global pandemic upset the big celebration plans.

Fortunately for me, the company figured out how to do a socially distant week of exploring old masks and puppets from their archives as a way to prepare for the celebration whenever it can happen.

It was a wonderful week away from the city full of play, rivers, friends, and ice cream.
