“That’s the way to do it!” Punch and Judy is well-known as a popular Victorian seaside entertainment, but this puppet show enjoys a longer, richer history that continues to this day.

Join Fort Nisqually’s own Professor Petticoat as she takes you through a 359-year history of Punch and Judy from its roots in the Italian commedia dell’arte to the beloved puppet show it is today. Follow Mr. Punch as he transforms from masked actor to marionette, from humble glove puppet to cultural (and often controversial) icon!

This month’s suggested adult beverage pairing will be, of course, a Punch and Judy! Recipe to follow!
