Adopt-a-trio!
These adorable WORM, SPIDER and FLY finger puppets are part of our annual FUNdraiser supporting new play development!  These great puppets from our upcoming production of DIARY OF A WORM, A SPIDER, AND A FLY make a great stocking stuffer – or pair them with a First Stage gift certificate for a great gift!  For a minimum donation of $25 you get the WORM, SPIDER and FLY finger puppets, the chance to write and submit your own play starring your puppets, and an exclusive invite to our “From the Page to the Stage” party on June 15, 2012 where select plays written by other adoptive parents will be performed!  Available online, click here.  (Be sure to put TRIO in the comment section!)
