Ahoy! We have an exciting week ahead!

Next week will be amazing!

Ms. Adriane will open the Book Fair on Monday and it will run through Friday at 5:00. Please come see the many wonderful choices available during drop-off and pick-up time!

On Tuesday, the cooking class will be held in the morning because we have a show in the afternoon!

Honey Goodenough, a current Marimont parent, will perform a puppet/magic show for the children after lunch. I am so excited! Here is a synopsis of the show and Ms. Goodenough’s biography:

Stewie’s Magic Hat: by GoodHearted Entertainment
The time has come for Stewie to follow his family’s tradition and find a job with a
very important hat! His Grandmother announces that he will become an
apprentice to the Great Garbanzo, a highly accomplished wizard! Will he master
these magical tasks to earn his magic hat? Will he make his family proud? The
story unfolds with magical messes, musical dragons, and many more
amusements to help Stewie find the hat that fits him best!


Honey Goodenough is a puppeteer, educator, and children’s party entertainer.
Her company, Good Hearted Entertainment most recently, debuted their new
show Stewie’s Magic Hat, which was generously funded by a Jim Henson
Foundation Family Grant. She has also created the literacy-based puppet show
Word Play as part of the 2016 Puppet Showplace Incubator Program. Her solo
show, Sock Monkey Circus toured China in Fall 2017 with the International Clown
Comedy Festival, and was also part of the National Puppet Slam at the Center
for Puppetry Arts. It has appeared since at birthday parties and cultural events
throughout Greater Boston. When not puppeteering, “Funny Honey” performs
magic shows, paints faces, and twists balloons for all sorts of family friendly
parties and events.


Honey is a trained marionette performer and has performed with Paper Moon
Marionette Theater, PuppetWorks, and toured with the National Marionette
Theatre and Frisch Marionettes. She has produced and performed in Puppet

Slams across the country with generous support from Heather Henson’s Puppet
Slam Network. After years of experience working with diverse student
populations in greater Boston, New York City, Vermont, and Texas, in 2017 she
became Puppet Showplace Theater’s first resident teaching artist. She taught a
wide variety of professional development courses for educators and aspiring
puppeteers at Montserrat College of Art, Brooklyn College, the University of
Utah, and City College CUNY. Honey holds an MA in Educational Theater from
New York University, and a BA in Theater Crafts and Technology from the
University of Texas, Austin.
