Event Details

The Center for Puppetry Arts presents a live action and puppet rendition of Calvin Alexander Ramsey’s children’s story, Ruth and The Green Book. Ruth and her parents travel south to visit family but encounter many people who are unfriendly to black travelers along the way. This lively production brings understanding and enlightenment about an oppressive era in US history. 

See our study resources, a link to the actual Green Book, and racial equity resources under ATTACHMENTS on this page. 

Registration begins August 15. Please register only one person for this program and we will send you a link to view the puppet show online.

PROGRAM VIEWING EXTENDED! Ruth and the Green Book will now be available to view from Sept. 12 through Nov. 14!
