Nat Reed’s puppetry class, TMA 252, performed a puppet variety show Dec. 8. during the afternoon Mask Club times.
Eight students self-produced four skits, either on an ethical dilemma or on team work. Two additional performers did lip syncs, one parodying “Sugar” and the other doing “Can You Feel the Love Tonight.” The finale of the puppet performance was a puppet version of “The Twelve Days of Christmas” ('On the first day of Christmas, my puppet gave to me …”).
Nat Reed also created the three puppet camels for the Mormon Tabernacle Choirs’ 2017 Christmas Broadcast, which is always taped the year before it is aired. Nat trained the three puppeteers that controlled the camels, several of whom were his former students.
FROM THE TMA DEPARTMENT: 'You’ll have to wait until next year to see these amazing puppets! We appreciate the puppetry classes, taught under the theatre education program, and the support they give our students and productions.'
