The New World Children’s Theater began as The New World Puppet Theater
at the North Water Street Gallery in Kent, Ohio, in January of 1993. Originally,
it was comprised of home-school children. Throughout the years , however, it
has grown to include public-schooled children as well. Eventually, the troupe
outgrew the puppets and the ensemble became The New World Children’s Theater,
which has produced 26 plays since 1994. In addition to the emphasis on original
playwriting, the company is dedicated to using recycled materials in the construction
of its sets and props. This fosters an understanding of a sustainable planet
as well as an understanding of how to work with limited resources. The only requirement
is an active imagination.
The New World Children’s Theatre is always looking for donations to support
students from low income families as well as our our ongoing activities. Donations
are tax deductible and can be made to Standing Rock Cultural Arts, 257 N. Water
St., Kent, Ohio 44240.
Thank you for supporting the kids.

ABOUT THE “DAY OF THE DEAD” HOLIDAY
This festive Mexican Holiday honors all those who have passed before us. But
let us not be somber. They celebrate with music, food, drinks, paintings and
large puppet sculptures. Like the celebration of a birthday, this holiday reconfirms
annually the love, goodwill, and generosity that the beloved can count on, no
matter that they are dead.
From Wikipedia…
Día de los Muertos is a holiday celebrated in many parts of the world,
typically on November 1 (All Saints' Day) and November 2 (All Souls' Day).
The Day of the Dead is also celebrated to a lesser extent in other Latin American
countries; for example, it is a public holiday in Brazil, where many Brazilians
celebrate it by visiting cemeteries and churches. The holiday is also observed
in the Philippines. Observance of the holiday has spread to Mexican-American
communities in the United States, where in some locations, the traditions are
being extended. Similarly-themed celebrations also appear in some Asian and African
culture.
Though the subject matter may be considered morbid from the perspective of some
other cultures, celebrants typically approach the Day of the Dead joyfully, and
though it occurs at the same time as Halloween, All Saints' Day and All Souls
Day, the traditional mood is much brighter with emphasis on celebrating and honoring
the lives of the deceased, and celebrating the continuation of life; the belief
is not that death is the end, but rather the beginning of a new stage in life.
