Last weekend Connecticut theatergoers could choose between the culminating public performances of the National Puppetry Conference at the Eugene O’Neill Theater Center in Waterford and the opening weekend of the Handspring Puppet Company/Bristol Old Vic production of A Midsummer Night’s Dream (in photo above) at the International Festival of Arts & Ideas.

There were at least a couple of Punch & Judy shows among the early festival fare back in the ‘90s, including one by Preston Foerder.
