    Discovery Green presents Puppet Pizzazz’s African Tales,  Saturday, February 20 12 p.m. HPL Express - Outside Morgan Reading Room.  Professional Puppeteer, Mr. Greg Ruhe shares his life adventures and stories inspired by his journey to Africa. A 40-minute puppetry spectacular filled with an array of various puppetry styles, dramatic story telling and lots of audience participation.

    Greg Ruhe is the creator of Puppet Pizzazz. This 40 year old puppeteer is happily nestled in Houston, Texas, but can be often found touring around the world while sharing his unique style of puppetry. Greg developed his skills while earning his bachelor of fine arts degree from West Virginia University. For six years he has participated at the National Puppetry Conference at the Eugene O'Neill Theatre Center. The making and playing with puppets allows for great creative diversity in Greg's day. "Mr. Greg" is often the first person to arrive at any particular elementary school ready to perform his unique and very energetic puppetry demonstration. In the afternoon, while preparing for the next performance, he is most likely the person to answer your phone call. During most evenings he is performing with his larger than life puppet creations at lavish special events. Greg was sanctioned by Very Special Arts India to share his artistry with educators in Hong Kong, India and Thailand.

    Puppet Pizzazz's most recent accomplishment is being commissioned by the Krewe of Orpheus for Mardi Gras 2000-2004. The diversity and endless possibilities of Puppet Pizzazz makes this puppeteer love his life! Greg is proud to be a member of UNIMA-The World Puppetry Organization and Puppeteers of America.
