SFBAPG invites you to join us for our annual workshop honoring one of our most beloved members, Nick Barone.
Saturday,
April 6th SFBAPG will a host our 3rd
annual workshop to honor Nick at the Veterans Memorial Hall of
Benicia, 1150 1st Street, Benicia, CA 94510. The workshop will run
from 11:00 AM to 5:00 PM.
In
case you don’t know what a crankie is: It is a box with a crank
that holds a story illustrated on a long scroll that is wound onto 2
spools. The scroll sits in the frame which is hand cranked while the
story is narrated or sung. The crankie evolved from Moving Panoramic
paintings. Panoramic paintings have been around for centuries. Some
people say that it was the precursor to motion pictures. Moving
Panoramas could vary in size from a few inches in height to huge ones
that encompassed an entire stage.
We
will be making crankies using cardboard boxes. These are crankies
that you can make with children, as well as adults. At the workshop,
you will make a box crankie and scroll. The workshop fee will be $30
for members and $45 for nonmembers. Camilla Henneman will be leading
the workshop with Judy Roberto. Proceeds from this workshop will be
used to keep this workshop ongoing in the coming years.
We
will be sending out an email with a link to sign up for the workshop.
If you would like more information, or want to make a cheesecake
contact Camilla, camhenneman@gmail.com

One
of Nick’s passions was teaching. Another was cheesecake. He loved
sharing his skills (and cheesecake) with other puppeteers.
WHAT
WE NEED! People to help with set up and clean up! Also, people to
volunteer to make a cheesecake from Nick’s recipe (we will provide)
to share. Please contact Camilla camhenneman@gmail.com
If you are interested in
making a cheesecake, here is the recipe.

Gift Exchange and More!
ENTERTAINMENT: Chanticleer the Rooster
Magical Moonshine’s newest addition to the Canterbury Collection is Chaucer’s Canterbury tale about a rooster who is caught by the flattering fox…but foxes can be fooled as well. Assisting the beloved Chanticleer is a wise ant, as well as the pig, sheep, goat, dog, hen and farmer. Medieval costumes and live, ancient music (including a version of “Old MacDonald Had A Farm” from 1710!) make for a delightful and interactive family program. This production is inspired by the Kelmscott Chaucer from the McCune Art and Rare Book Collection, who are sponsors of the project.
