Hudson Vagabond Puppet's Ferdinand the Bull is on the Pepsi Main Stage and is based on the classic tale by Munro Leaf and illustrations by Robert Lawson. It's the story of the bull who wouldn't fight told in a narrated ballet with a larger-than-life bull, masked dancers, and specialized mechanical figures. Each scene brings to life one of the pages of the book and the puppets and scenery are based as closely as possible on the illustrations in the book. After the program, students will get involved in an on-stage demonstration of conflict resolution techniques without violence.

will be in the House of Blues Hospitality Tent. In "By George and Everyone Else," this unique duo takes you on a wacky tour through American history. Thurston Osgood, host of the interview program "Meet the Patriots," brings you face to face with those who made the United States what it is today and gives you a chance to get even with them for it. Ben Franklin flies his kite on stage, George Washington sports his famous wooden smile and Betsy Ross creates the first American flag before the wondering eyes of the audience. |
